At the heart of Obama's psyche and his political beliefs - and therefore his presidency - is his life-long struggle to understand the extreme duality of his identity. Maraniss explores his extraordinary journey from a mixed race boy raised by white grandparents in laid-back Hawaii to an African America with a burning political vision and vocation. Maraniss reveals here previously unpublished love letters written by Obama as a young man in a search of an identity: black or white, writer or a man who could lead. The story wrought here is one of fierce ambition, survival, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes monochrome images\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nNear new with light handling wear\/marks on covers and page edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003e\nOut of print and increasingly scarce\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450749927716,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/1845317532.jpg?v=1786651941","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/barack-obama-the-making-of-the-man-by-david-maraniss","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
