Peter Baker dug up the best and worst moments of President Barack Obama’s two terms in office to masterfully weave into a condensed account. Baker includes many photographs by New York Times photographers, public, and behind-the scenes to capture Obama’s legacy. Obama: The Call of History is now available through Abrams Books.
