One of the most important politics books of the year, To Obama is a
record of a time when politics intersected with empathy. 'The real
story of Obama's America' Sunday Times Every day, President Obama
received ten thousand letters from ordinary American citizens. Every
night, he read ten of them before going to bed. In To Obama, Jeanne
Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter-writers themselves
and the White House staff in the Office of Presidential Correspondence
who were witness to the millions of pleas, rants, thank-yous and
apologies that landed in the mailroom during the Obama years. At once
desperate, joyful, hateful and despairing, they form an intimate
portrait of one man's relationship with the American people, and of a
time when empathy intersected with politics in the White House.
