In Barack and Michelle, America's First Couple is scrutinized in stirring detail by Christopher Andersen, author of thirteen New York Times bestsellers including Jack and Jackie, Somewhere in Heaven, and the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day John Died. Subtitled Portrait of an American Marriage, here is the first in-depth look at the popular U.S. President and his beautiful, brilliant, and stylish First Lady. Andersen, already internationally acclaimed for his intimate portraits of the Kennedys, Bushs, and Clintonsnow celebrates the unique union of President and Mrs. Obama with Barack and Michelle , shedding fascinating light on a romantic relationship and a political destiny like no other.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [485]-487).
This 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, 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.
