The aim of this book is to bring into focus the most exciting and complex presidential campaign, which for the first time revealed to the world Barack Hussein Obama as an extraordinary politician. This is not a biography of the man who became the 44th President of the United States of America.On the contrary, this book is the absolutely true story of the most remarkable leader of the electoral campaign, a man whose intellectual and political gifts prevailed and set him apart as a political genius. Barack Obama won the presidency even though unfavorable circumstances made him less likely to be president of the United States of America: being an African-American, the son of a non-American from Kenya; Having a strange name for an American; being married to a woman of slave ancestry; having served only four years as a United States Senator. Imagine that before his speech at the 2004 Democratic convention, more than half of all Americans either didn't know him or had never heard of him.This book explains explicitly how this African-American survived and convinced all the peoples of the world that he was the one they were waiting for, and why the American people chose him as President of the United States of America at a crucial moment of the financial crisis, despite all the disadvantages that weighed on him. Barack Obama has truly shaken up the world. With this achievement, he has definitely proved that anyone, not just rich boys from the upper classes, can become president.Besides, the book, "The Political Phenomenon", is the most nuanced account of the most exciting presidential campaign in American history, including not only the highlights, but also how the campaign became truly dramatic, with all the problems, conflicts and achievements. In general, the rest of the world doesn't pay too much attention to the primaries until the two main candidates have emerged. But this time, it was different. From Paris to Kinshasa, from Copenhagen to Melbourne, people stayed up late, already in the beginning of 2008, waiting for the results of the American presidential primary season.And finally, this book captures the essence of one of the most extraordinary leaders of our time and the process by which he became, without any doubt, a political phenomenon.
