Barack Obama

Barack Obama's meteoric rise to the presidency began with his speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. This same year, he went from being an Illinois state senator to being elected a United States senator. Just over two years later, he declared his candidacy for president. By November 2008, he was elected president. In this biography, the reader finds out about Obama's life, from his childhood in Hawaii to his rise to become 44th president of the United States-the first African-American commander-in-chief in the history of the U.S. Book jacket.

Award-winning author Michael A. Schuman has written several biographies for Enslow Publishers, Inc., including Louis Armstrong: "fazz Is Played From the Heart" and Will Smith: "I Like Blending a Message with Comedy."
