Product Information
Relive the extraordinary Presidency of Barack Obama through White House photographer Pete Souza's behind-the-scenes images and stories in this #1 New York Times bestseller--with a foreword from the President himself. During Barack Obama's two terms, Pete Souza was with the President during more crucial moments than anyone else--and he photographed them all. Souza captured nearly two million photographs of President Obama, in moments highly classified and disarmingly candid. Obama: An Intimate Portrait reproduces more than 300 of Souza's most iconic photographs with fine-art print quality in an oversize collectible format. Together they document the most consequential hours of the Presidency--including the historic image of President Obama and his advisors in the Situation Room during the bin Laden mission--alongside unguarded moments with the President's family, his encounters with children, interactions with world leaders and cultural figures, and more. Souza's photographs, with the behind-the-scenes captions and stories that accompany them, communicate the pace and power of our nation's highest office. They also reveal the spirit of the extraordinary man who became our President. We see President Obama lead our nation through monumental challenges, comfort us in calamity and loss, share in hard-won victories, and set a singular example to "be kind and be useful," as he would instruct his daughters. This book puts you in the White House with President Obama, and will be a treasured record of a landmark era in American history. * * * A deluxe limited slipcase edition is also available.Product Identifiers

Wonderful inside look at eight important, meaningful, and intelligent years.
This book will make you nostalgic for a real president who is mature, thoughtful, and selfless. The details presented in these photographs of President Obama's two terms in office allow us to see some of the day-to-day details of this hard working president and remind us what a good husband, father, and leader Barrack Obama is.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Not worth $50, $12-$15 maybe
Definitely better Pete’s second book “shade” a tale of two presidents. This one actually has some substance and #44 did the foreword. The reality of that it’s written by the Obama fan boys and if you’re from that club then you will relish in this and it will make your bosom swell with joy and pride. But when reality sets in, you’ll be the miserable bitter liberal power grab nut job you’re willing to be to believe the anything non-Obama is bad and evil and must be out to death. It’s a boring book. You can get the pics for free on the internet.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Exceptional photography..worth the price.
You can purchase this book just for the photography or if you are an Obama fan. Very few officially "staged" photos which makes it even more interesting. These two people are very comfortable in their own skin while being confident without being arrogant. Since the book weighs in a little over seven pounds, it is probably a good idea to give it some extra support during use. Would save the spine from twisting.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

A Beautiful Collection of Photos
This is a great collector’s item. These were photos taken by Pete Souza, the official White House photographer during Barack Obama time in office. They are both beautiful and poignant. It’s a must have for those of us who love with the Obamas. They will be missed and this is a fantastic memento to keep their time at the White House in our memory.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The title describes the book perfectly.
This is a beautiful book of photos by the White House photographer. It chronicles the Obama administration and proves that a picture is worth l,000 words! I couldn't put it down once I started it. The price is terrific. It includes photos from their personal lives, as well. There are explanations of what is taking place in all of the photos.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Obama Intimate Portrait official White House (and Family) photos--beautiful gift.
BEAUTIFUL! Professional White House, including candid photos from Souza, of the Obama administration (and family) behind the scenes. Love it, so I also got a copy for my brother-in-law for Christmas, he writes political columns. VERY weighty, so look for an offer that includes postage.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Great It is a part of a presidency in portraits.
Love this book that I got 2 more as presents. It’s historical value as the very first USA president of color, plus a picture is worth a thousand words. There are millions of words worth in this book. My grandchildren will enjoy this book with their children and grandchildren. It is a legacy of the American people.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
