All we really know is one half of Obama, and here is the other. This book, filled with information about his lineage that amazed him personally, exhausted its author with the unique and astonishing details he gathered. It targets the unknown half of US President Barack Obama. The author, a documentary filmmaker, travels back hundreds of years to discover the President's connection to the Luo people, who descend from ancient African warriors. He describes how Obama's ancestral tribes migrated from Sudan over many years to finally settle in Kenya, providing fascinating details about their lifestyle, beliefs, wars, and strategies. The author pieces together this complete picture from information gathered during his journey to Obama's ancestral Kenyan village and through interviews with the President's relatives. The book covers his upbringing, his youthful struggles with his ethnic heritage, his saint-like status in Kenya today, and the circumstances that led him to the White House.
