"Peter Baker dug up the best and worst moments of President
Barack
Obama's two terms in office to masterfully weave into a
condensed
account."--Lyne Lucien "The Daily Beast"
"Peter Baker's Obama: The Call of History is a masterfully written
and stunningly illustrated remembrance of our forty-fourth
president. Baker has emerged as the go-to journalist and sage on
recent U.S. presidential events. Obama is a full-bore testimonial
to Baker's graceful prose style, judicious reporting, and sterling
history-minded analysis. Highly recommended!"--Douglas Brinkley
"author of Rightful Heritage: Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the
Land of America"
"Very likely not since tributes to the assassinated John F.
Kennedy
will a book of photographs of a president so recently departed
make
millions of Americans want to cry."--James Goodman "The New York
Times Book Review"
