RENEGADE The Making of a President

The author was one of the few reporters to closely cover Barack Obama all the way from the early days of the presidential campaign to his first days in the Oval Office. Narrator Arthur Morey employs a simple, clean narrative style throughout. His sensitive reading and perfect pacing also bring out the emotional involvement of the author with his subject. This intimate connection between the reporter and his topic is often unavoidable—even with a professional newsman like Wolffe. However, the overall objectivity of his examination is preserved by Morey's deft delivery. This insightful analysis will be welcomed by the many people who have asked just who Barack Obama is.
