Based on hundreds of interviews and documents, this book chronicles the life of Barack
Obama and the forces that shaped him, from early childhood through his adult years,
as he became the first black president of the United States. In it the author reveals
the real story of Obama's beginnings: child of a black man from Luoland in Africa
and a white woman born in Texas. He charts the fortunes of the two disparate families,
polar opposites in every way, which produced these two extraordinary individuals,
who met briefly in Hawaii, never cohabited, and married only to legitimize the child
born of that union. At the heart of Obama's psyche and his political beliefs, and
therefore his presidency, is his lifelong struggle to understand the extreme duality
of his identity
