This competent (if uninspired) biography presents information about President Obama's background, including his early interest in politics, then focuses on his later accomplishments.

This revised and expanded edition is updated through the 2009 inauguration; Sean "P.Diddy"Combs gets the last word (this is truly what America is, what Americas about") Reading list, timeline, websites.
