Description
This title documents Obama's unprecedented journey to the White House. This is a beautifully produced commemorative album of newspaper pages depicting landmarks in his campaign. This is the only book to include front covers, speeches and photographs from Obama's initial declaration of candidacy, his Democratic nomination, election and inauguration. When Barack Obama became president - elected on the 4th of November 2008 - he transformed Martin's Luther King's dream into reality. Obama, and the 66.3 million Americans who voted for him, proved to the world that all things are possible and the day after, people the world over lined up to buy newspapers as souvenirs. The demand was unprecedented, with stands and shops quickly selling out. Featuring over 100 domestic and foreign newspapers and depicting all the landmarks in Obama's groundbreaking campaign, this gorgeous commemorative album documents an important part of history, that now everybody can own. This stunning keepsake is a must-have for all who experienced this remarkable moment...and for future generations, too.
