Celebrate the Making of History

[Anna Balasi]

On November 4, 2008, history was made as America embraced democracy and elected Barack Obama as the 44th U.S. President.

Celebrate this momentous event by reviewing and giving away a copy of THE AMERICAN JOURNEY OF BARACK OBAMA by The Editors of LIFE Magazine.

The American Journey of Barack Obama covers the candidate from his childhood and adolescence to his time as editor of The Harvard Law Review and his Chicago activist years, culminating with the excitement and fervor of the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention. The unfolding drama of Obama's life and political career is cinematic in scope, and never has it been presented so compellingly.

In addition to a powerful array of photographs that were taken by many of the country's greatest photographers (and some that were snapped, in the quiet moments, by Obama family members themselves), this book also includes a Foreword by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, an incisive narrative biography and original essays by some of our finest writers, including Gay Talese, Charles Johnson, Melissa Fay Greene, Andrei Codrescu, Fay Weldon, Richard Norton Smith, Bob Greene and several others. Many readers will find a new understanding of Obama. All readers will feel that they are bearing witness to a singular, undeniably American story.

If you would like to review this book and would like to give a second copy away, please email me or comment.

Giveaway copies will be sent directly to your winner/s once you provide me with their mailing address. If you'd like the giveaway copy sent to YOU rather than directly to your winner/s, please let me know.

I would love to review the book and do a giveaway (I won a copy of the book, so no need to send me one for review). When do you want the book giveaway to happen? I ask this because I don't have time in my schedule to review the book until December, but would love to do a giveaway (either before the review or at the time of review) and I wanted to make sure that was ok. Thanks!
