Summary
"Barack Obama's election as the first African-American president seemd to usher in a new era, and he took office in 2009 with great expectations. But by his second term, Republicans controlled Congress, and after the 2016 presidential election, Obama's legacy and the health of the Democratic party itself appeared in doubt....Julian Zelizer gathers leading American historians to put President Obama and his administration into political and historical context." -- from publisher.
