Interesting excerpt, thanks, however the author doesn't credit the source 'Dreams From My Father' for this statement for example:

Early during Obama Sr.’s Hawaii years, he met, in a Russian class, the seventeen-year-old Ann Dunham, an anthropology student, daughter of a local family originally from Kansas. They married in 1961, and the couple’s only child, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., was born later that year.

Dreams-—I didn’t catch that, but I did question how deeply this book was researched, aside from Airlift source materials.

It introduces some new information (notice that link url is the excerpt itself & does not contain footnotes), but unless the original book provides footnotes, facts unknown to us will need to be verified. In just this excerpt, I noticed several obvious errors.

OTOH, I thought he was able to capture the relevance of the Airlift project in just a few paragraphs.
