More About This Book

Overview

Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage is an intimate and ultimately riveting look at their unique ­relationship, and the humor, faith, fortitude, and grace that define it. It is, above all, a uniquely American love story. 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 the marriage remains a mystery. And now, for the first time, Christopher Andersen draws on important sources—some speaking here for the first time—to paint the first complete, compelling portrait of America's first black First Family.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
As a couple, the Obamas have captured interest at a level not seen since the brightest days of JFK and Jackie's Camelot. Christopher Andersen's Barack and Michelle grabs your attention with its blissful cover photo, but it keeps you engrossed with its lively rendering of the president and first lady's life together.

    Possibly the most objective information available

    I thought Anderson did a really good job with revealing where Barrack is coming from. I read this because I am not an Obama fan, therefore desired an objective source to help broaden my senses with positive input. This did. It delves deep into the history of Barack; his childhood adventures with a very spirited mother, an extreme neglect of his natural father (but not lack of exposure to the fairy-tale of a righteous dad Barack's mom worked hard to keep alive in her son's mind), and upbringing by his nurturing and liberal grandparents. A really fascinating childhood history. The story reveals a side of Michelle that I developed a deep appreciation for, the values instilled in her by being raised in a loving supportive family of high standards that were never waivered from. Everything I learned about her in this book is amazing. So too will the readers come to understand more about how the influences the Chicago community, in which they were and became ever more involved in, dominate a belief system that may be best kept in Chicago, not favorable to the power of our nation. This is a very insightful read.

    A fabulous book!

    I thought this book was fabulous! It gave you such an insight into the Obama's family and professional life. It is refreshing to see a political couple with such down to earth mannerism and outlook. A lot of political couples have a public life but no private life. They appear stiff and "phony" when interacting with each other. I would recommend this book highly to all who appreciate the importance of family stablity and relationships in everyday living. A career can be short lived, but a family is for life!

    CAPTIVATING! A SPLENDID, POSITIVE BOOK ABOUT A FASCINATING COUPLE

    From the opening pages--when Christopher Andersen describes the chilling moment when Barack and Michelle Obama had to face the fact that their infant daughter Sasha had been stricken with meningitis--to the inside details about the First Family's life in the White House today, BARACK AND MICHELLE kept me mesmerized. Anyone who admires the Obamas (and certainly anyone who voted for Barack!)will love it as much as I did--especially the account of their very different upbringings, their courtship and marriage, the problems they faced and overcame in their marriage, how they parent Malia and Sasha, and the important role Michelle has always played in the President's decision-making. I'm giving BARACK AND MICHELLE to everyone for Christmas.
