Barack and Michelle by Christopher Andersen

Barack and Michelle by Christopher Andersen

They exploded on the national political scene in 2004 and within four short years captured the ultimate political prize. By the time they claimed the White House in one of the most hotly-contested presidential races in modern history, Barack and Michelle Obama were seen by millions around the world as the new Jack and Jackie Kennedy--brilliant, attractive, elegant, youthful, exciting. Accompanied by their two young daughters Malia and Sasha, the Obamas would arrive at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the promise of a new Camelot all but assured. Given the obvious historic significance of what they accomplished together, the marriage of Barack and Michelle stands as one of the great personal and political partnerships in American history. Yet, incredibly, the true nature of that relationship remains a mystery. Until now. In the style of his #1 New York Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day John Died, as well as his bestselling books about the Kennedys, the Clintons and the Bushes, author Christopher Andersen draws on important sources--some speaking for the first time--to paint the first complete, compelling portrait of America's first black First Family.

Christopher Andersen is the critically acclaimed author of twenty-seven books that have been translated into more than twenty languages worldwide. With his international, newsmaking blockbusters--ten New York Times bestsellers in the last ten years alone--he has taken a place at the forefront of popular biographers. A former contributing editor of Time and senior editor of People, Andersen has also written hundreds of articles for a wide range of publications, including Life, the New York Times and Vanity Fair. A well-known media figure, Andersen has been featured frequently on numerous television shows including Today, Dateline, Larry King Live, 48 Hours, CBS News, Anderson Cooper 360, and Entertainment Tonight. He lives in Connecticut.
