Product Description
Through 150 striking color photographs, Obama: The Historic Campaign in Photographs charts the road to Barack Obama's nomination as the first African American to lead the presidential ticket of a major party. Announcing his campaign in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007, Obama stood on the grounds of the Old State Capitol, where Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous "House Divided" speech against slavery in 1858. During an eighteen-month campaign, from the snows of Iowa to the hunt for Democratic "superdelegates," this junior senator from Chicago confounded the party establishment and rewrote the playbook on modern presidential campaigning. This amazing collection of photographs captures the public and private moments of his journey, and offers a unique window into one of the great triumphs in American politics.

 Great Photographs January 3, 2009
Anyone looking for pics chronicling the Obama team during the primary season will enjoy this book. It is not the go to book for pics during the general election. It is a great book though, and any fan of Obama will enjoy it.

The book was well worth the purchase, nice cover and great photos. What I would like more is a book with photos of mainly President Elect Obama and his family but I'll be patient because I know it is forthcoming.
An Excellent View of the Obama Campaign November 29, 2008

This moving photo journey across the country with Barack Obama in his quest to become president is well worth the money. The photography is excellent and makes you feel as if you are there. Everyone who has seen my copy has wanted one and I have ordered numerous books for gifts because it is the kind of historical record that will be timeless. It gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I am not only personally loving thumbing through the pages over and over, but that I am gifting friends and family with something of unique value and significance.
