YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBaker reported on Obama in depth for eight years as The New York Times’s Chief White House correspondent. He caps that period with a book that’s at once a judicious assessment of Obama’s presidency and a fittingly outsize tribute to his legacy. Baker, who followed his coverage of the Bush years with Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House, recreates the major events of the Obama years and many of the minor ones, telling stories and putting Obama’s accomplishments in the larger historical context. His detailed and intimate profile of the forty-fourth chief executive is vividly illustrated with full-color photos taken by various photographers, truly a keepsake.
