Through 150 striking color photographs, this book charts the road to Obama's nomination as the first African American to lead the presidential ticket of a major party. Announcing his campaign in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007, Obama stood on the grounds of the Old State capitol, where Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous "House Divided" speech against slavery in 1858. An eighteen-month whirlwind campaign followed. Hardcover, 160 pp. 2008
