{"product_id":"book-aapc","title":"The American Journey of Barack Obama","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eFor decades Americans have turned to \u003ci\u003eLIFE\u003c\/i\u003e to see, understand, and remember the most important events and people of our time. Just as \u003ci\u003eLIFE\u003c\/i\u003e once opened up the glittering Kennedy White House, LIFE now focuses its lens on Barack Obama.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe American Journey of Barack Obama\u003c\/i\u003e covers the candidate from his childhood and adolescence to his time as editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Harvard Law Review\u003c\/i\u003e and his Chicago activist years, culminating with the excitement and fervor of the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention. The unfolding drama of Obama's life and political career is cinematic in scope, and never has it been presented so compellingly.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to a powerful array of photographs that were taken by many of the country's greatest photographers (and some that were snapped, in the quiet moments, by Obama family members themselves), this book also includes a Foreword by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, an incisive narrative biography and original essays by some of our finest writers, including Gay Talese, Charles Johnson, Melissa Fay Greene, Andrei Codrescu, Fay Weldon, Richard Norton Smith, Bob Greene and several others. Many readers will find a new understanding of Obama. All readers will feel that they are bearing witness to a singular, undeniably American story.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349876089136,"sku":"BDaapc","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/aapc-cover.jpg?v=1761944134","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-aapc","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
