A highly anticipated release this week is THE PROMISE: President Obama, Year One by Jonathan Alter. Early reviews report the books highly-detailed, engaging and "insider." For a political junkie like me, this book should be mandatory reading.
From Alter's website:
Barack Obama's inauguration as president on January 20, 2009, inspired the world. But the great promise of “Change We Can Believe In” was immediately tested by the threat of another Great Depression, a worsening war in Afghanistan, and an entrenched and deeply partisan system of business as usual in Washington. Despite all the coverage, the backstory of Obama's historic first year in office has until now remained a mystery.
Jules Witcover and Jack Germond used to chronicle politics with "insider" information books. Alter is fighting Bob Woodward for the keys to that kingdom.
I can't wait to read this book.
