Book Reviews of Obama: From Promise to Power
Book Review: Fair and Objective
Summary: 4 Stars
I was expecting something of a hagiography when I read the book cover that described Obama as the "savior of the democratic party." Instead, I came away very impressed with how objective Mendell stayed throughout the entire book. It is not a hatchet job either. It is simply an accurate account of a very complicated man, who carries with him both the idealism instilled in him by his mother and the cunning intuition of the most skilled politician.
