Présentation de l'éditeur :

Barack Obama s ascent is the most extraordinary political story in a generation. From humble beginnings, he has become one of the most charismatic and significant figures in modern American history. Inspiring in his supporters an emotional response of a kind unseen since JFK s rise to power in the 1960s, he has also drawn enormous international interest in a world hungry for a counter-balance to the Bush years. Every step of Obama s journey is described here in intimate detail by a journalist who had a ringside seat from the earliest days of the president-elect s history-making candidacy. Drawing on extensive contacts among Obama s closest advisors and oldest friends, Stanage delivers a blow-by-blow account packed with rare insights. Redemption Song will likely stir up its own share of controversy too, thanks to the author s trenchantly expressed opinions about the tactics used against Obama by the Clintons and the resistance the Democrat encountered from prominent figures in the Irish-American community.
