As they campaigned across downstate Illinois, they developed a professional and personal relationship. This is a treasury of the photographs Katz took of Obama as a husband, a father, an unknown politician, and an American icon in the making. Katz's captions tell the stories behind the photos, bringing readers closer to this extraordinary man who became our forty-fourth president. -- adapted from jacket ER -
