Obama: An Intimate Portrait reproduces more than 300 of Souza's most iconic photographs with fine-art print quality in an oversize collectible format. A deluxe limited slipcase edition is also available.
Relive the extraordinary Presidency of Barack Obama through White House photographer Pete Souza's behind-the-scenes images and stories in this #1 New York Times bestseller--with a foreword from the President himself. During Barack Obama's two terms, Pete Souza was with the President during more crucial moments than anyone else--and he photographed them all. Souza captured nearly two million photographs of President Obama, in moments highly classified and disarmingly candid. Obama: An Intimate Portrait reproduces more than 300 of Souza's most iconic photographs with fine-art print quality in an oversize collectible format. Together they document the most consequential hours of the Presidency--including the historic image of President Obama and his advisors in the Situation Room during the bin Laden mission--alongside unguarded moments with the President's family, his encounters with children, interactions with world leaders and cultural figures, and more. Souza's photographs, with the behind-the-scenes captions and stories that accompany them, communicate the pace and power of our nation's highest office. They also reveal the spirit of the extraordinary man who became our President. We see President Obama lead our nation through monumental challenges, comfort us in calamity and loss, share in hard-won victories, and set a singular example to "be kind and be useful," as he would instruct his daughters. This book puts you in the White House with President Obama, and will be a treasured record of a landmark era in American history. * * * A deluxe limited slipcase edition is also available.

Reviews
"Perfect for gifting... lets readers into Obama's life in the White House, around the world, and into the spirit of his chapter in American history."-- Travel + Leisure
Wonderful inside look at eight important, meaningful, and intelligent years.
This book will make you nostalgic for a real president who is mature, thoughtful, and selfless. The details presented in these photographs of President Obama's two terms in office allow us to see some of the day-to-day details of this hard working president and remind us what a good husband, father, and leader Barrack Obama is.
Definitely better Pete’s second book “shade” a tale of two presidents. This one actually has some substance and #44 did the foreword.
The reality of that it’s written by the Obama fan boys and if you’re from that club then you will relish in this and it will make your bosom swell with joy and pride.
But when reality sets in, you’ll be the miserable bitter liberal power grab nut job you’re willing to be to believe the anything non-Obama is bad and evil and must be out to death.
It’s a boring book. You can get the pics for free on the internet.
You can purchase this book just for the photography or if you are an Obama fan. Very few officially "staged" photos which makes it even more interesting. These two people are very comfortable in their own skin while being confident without being arrogant. Since the book weighs in a little over seven pounds, it is probably a good idea to give it some extra support during use. Would save the spine from twisting.
Impressive book with wonderful pictures on every page. This book captures the amazing time in history for those of us who will forever put former President Obama in high regard. What a deal at such a great price and what an awesome book to have as part of a focal point in any room.
