Richard Wolffe - Renegade

I am reading this book now---the first of many Obama books I'm sure post-election. Once upon a time a journalist named Theodore White wrote a landmark book called "The Making of the President 1960." This was the first modern account of a US presidential election. White followed with volumes for 1964, 1968, & 1972. This Wolffe book strikes me as a continuation of that White series, written in the same vein. Barack Obama has to be understood in context, in his complexity; otherwise, you get the distortations of both the left and the right. This book is the best I've found yet for understanding the man whatever your personal political convictions.
