"From the to Amazon review: Obamas supposed autobiographies have been pretty well debunked as historical fiction. They were not concerned with facts. Garrows book is an antidote to the pretty fictional accounts Obama has used to his advantage, and Garrow has made every effort to nail down as many facts as possible. He not only has the facts, he interviews the participants, seeks out multiple sources, and even checks the newspapers of the day when necessary. This makes for a lot of verification of even the most insignificant details. But then again, we now have the details of Obamas life, maybe more than we may have wanted. Garrow does not provide analysis. He is concerned with the facts and only the facts as hes been able to verify them. But Baracks has been an unusual life, and so maybe the details count."
Have you got a link to it on Amazon? I can't find the book...
