President Obama

On November 4, 2008, America voted for change. This is a must-have record of this epic event, featuring exclusive footage from campaign photographer Callie Shell, showing the profound speeches and rallies of Obama's trail, as well as the private, more poignant moments of his journey to become America's 44th president. Behind-the-scenes photography is accompanied by TIME articles from its stable of respected writers, documenting Barack Obama's journey from his groundbreaking speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004. Callie Shell has been alongside Obama since he started his campaign in January 2006, and has been able to document the private side of the 'skinny kid with a funny name', showing what he's like in repose, with Michelle Obama and their two daughters as well as when he's on the stage or behind the podium. Featuring interviews, analysis and the photographic inside track to this fascinating man, this is the book to own when people ask you here you were the day that history was made.
