Relive the extraordinary Presidency of Barack Obama through White
House photographer Pete Souza's behind-the-scenes images and stories in
this #1 New York Times bestseller -- with a foreword from the
President himself.
During Barack Obama's two terms, Pete Souza was with the President
during more crucial moments than anyone else -- and he photographed them
all. Souza captured nearly two million photographs of President Obama,
in moments highly classified and disarmingly candid. Obama: An Intimate
Portrait reproduces more than 300 of Souza's most iconic photographs
with fine-art print quality in an oversize collectible format.
Together they document the most consequential hours of the Presidency --
including the historic image of President Obama and his advisors in the
Situation Room during the bin Laden mission -- alongside unguarded
moments with the President's family, his encounters with children,
interactions with world leaders and cultural figures, and more.
Souza's photographs, with the behind-the-scenes captions and stories
that accompany them, communicate the pace and power of our nation's
highest office. They also reveal the spirit of the extraordinary man who
became our President. We see President Obama lead our nation through
monumental challenges, comfort us in calamity and loss, share in
hard-won victories, and set a singular example to "be kind and be
useful," as he would instruct his daughters.
This book puts you in the White House with President Obama, and is a
treasured record of a landmark era in American history.
