Publishers Description: Barack obama himself told veteran political reporter richard wolffe, 'you'll get more access than anyone else', and renegade is his unique story of how a political newcomer with no money and an outsider's name grew into the world's most powerful leader. But it is also a uniquely intimate portrait of the person behind the iconic posters, the man codenamed 'renegade' by the secret service when protecting him. Wolffe portrays an historic candidate and his - until now - inscrutable character and campaign in untold, stunning detail, from his university lecturer's office in iowa to the oval office in washington. With unprecedented access, gained over a dozen exclusive interviews with obama, wolffe shares with us his front row seat. We fly on the candidate's plane and ride in his bus on an odyssey across a country in crisis; we stand next to him at a bar on the night he secures the nomination; and feel the tension backstage as he delivers his convention speech to a stadium crowd and a transfixed tv audience. Renegade is not just an election epic but is also an insightful biography of the new president of the united states.
