Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Barack Obama's path from Hawaii to Indonesia to the White House represents one of the most unlikely and fascinating journeys in U.S. political history. With this special publication that is sure to become an instant collector's item, TIME will mark Obama's rise with an illustrated 96-page book. TIME Obama will contain original TIME magazine reporting and analysis from the magazine's political experts. The book will showcase the unrivaled, intimate behind-the-scenes photography of campaign photographer Callie Shell, who has been visually documenting Obama's journey since he began his run for President. And it will provide readers with a colorful and concise account of how Obama rose to power -- from his early days to his Chicago years to the moment when he became a political phenomenon.




Rating: - Great gift for kids to feel part of our future!
I wrote a letter to my kids comparing the ideals I recalled from my childhood and the sad things they've seen with Bush's war and so forth, and placed the letter at the front of this book before I wrapped it for each of them. I had the most wonderful feeling that I was a part of a more responsible, more positive future and that I was sharing that with my children. The book is very nice, filled with beautiful photography, and some good information, though I wish it were a bit more complete in its ... Read More

Rating: - Surprising good for a memento/ coffee table book
I bought this as a gift for a relative zealous about the Obama campaign. Reading it myself, and viewing the excellent photographs, I found it was really worth a read. I've read neither of Obama's two books, so can't compare.

This book is by Time Magazine, and the articles, interspersed with the photographs, also by Time's photographer, show Mr Obama from the beginning of his decision to run for President, to the night of the election victory.

Many of the narratives are ... Read More

Rating: - It has really great stories and photography
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GIGTWETELWFQ I'm reviewing the paperback edition, which is essentially the same except the covers look different.

Time Magazine has produced a gem of a book in this special commemorative edition on President Barack Obama's election campaign.

The stories included are ones that have been published by Time over the months. They have, however, been given a change in title. The stories look not just at the campaign itself, but also ... Read More

I was so excited to get this awesome book delivered within 24 hours as promised! I paid a little extra for overnight delivery, but you can order it postage free and still receive it quickly, in plenty of time for holiday gift-giving. Time Magazine's "President Obama: The Path to the White House" is a beautiful book, accessible and enjoyable to both the politically savvy, or to any other reader.

From the large glossy picture of our soon-to-be president on the cover of the book, to the many ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent collector's item from a historic election.
Wow. I had pre-ordered this last month, and hadn't expected it's release for several more weeks. What a nice surprise that is has been released early. I guess Time pushed out in time for Christmas. Anyway, this is great book to remember a historic election. The book is only 96 pages, and it is divided into 10 chapters. My favorite chapters are: "How he learned to win", and "Defeating Hillary". The book gives a nice timeline of Barack's rise to power. It is loaded with never seen before, behind the scenes ... Read More
