Barack Obama didn’t start as a political powerhouse. He came from a broken family, lost early races, and was once crushed by a four-term incumbent in Chicago by a 2-to-1 margin. And yet — in record time — he rose from relative obscurity to the White House, defeating the Clinton political machine when few believed he could.

Inside, you’ll discover ten powerful characteristics Obama developed and refined along the way — traits ...

Three great stories for one low price. ("Hill 406," "Soldier On," and "Little Man, and the Dixon County War.")

And writing and pacing that will blow you away. There is a reason that everyone is starting to talk...
