Alter, a native of Chicago who has known Obama & his circle for nearly a decade, provides a fast-paced inside account of the breakneck speed with which President-elect Obama, & then President Obama, began making critical decisions & assuming the burdens of office amid the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. With dozens of exclusive details about everything from the selection of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state to the president's secrets for running a good meeting, Alter paints a fresh & often surprising portrait of a highly disciplined & self-aware president & his colourful team. We see a young president of extraordinary temperament grappling with the task of stimulating the economy, bailing out large banks, taking over the American auto industry, making the crucial decision about sending more troops to Afghanistan, deciding whether to negotiate with Iran about its nuclear program, & fighting for a major reform of the country's health care system.

Product Description

In the far future man has spread out into the galaxy. & diversified.

Some have evolved physically into strange new forms, some have become immortal. Some hark back to the old ways. We have built a glorious new future.

One that stretches from the sleepy Old World, to new terraformed planets & Dyson spheres built around artificial suns.

For as long as we can remember (and some have lived 12, 000 years) we have delighted in a rich new existence. Yes there have been wars but we are content in our splendour.

Art is revered, life is easy, death forgotten for many. But now there are rumours of a bid to oust the Emperor & a worrying story that our history is not as we remember it
- not only man left Earth...
