From one of Barack Obama’s closest aides comes a revelatory behind-the-scenes account of his presidency—and how idealism can confront harsh reality and still survive—in the tradition of Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.’s A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House.

For nearly ten years, Ben Rhodes saw almost everything that happened at the center of the Obama administration—first as a speechwriter, then as deputy national security advisor, and finally as a multipurpose aide and close collaborator. He started every morning in the Oval Office with the President’s Daily Briefing, traveled the world with Obama, and was at the center of some of the most consequential and controversial moments of the presidency. Now he tells the full story of his partnership—and, ultimately, friendship—with a man who also happened to be a historic president of the United States.

Rhodes was not your typical presidential confidant, and this is not your typical White House memoir. Rendered in vivid, novelistic detail by someone who was a writer before he was a staffer, this is a rare look inside the most poignant, tense, and consequential moments of the Obama presidency—waiting out the bin Laden raid in the Situation Room, responding to the Arab Spring, reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran, leading secret negotiations with the Cuban government to normalize relations, and confronting the resurgence of nationalism and nativism that culminated in the election of Donald Trump.

In The World as It Is, Rhodes shows what it was like to be there—from the early days of the Obama campaign to the final hours of the presidency. It is a story populated by such characters as Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Hillary Clinton, Bob Gates, and—above all—Barack Obama, who comes to life on the page in moments of great urgency and disarming intimacy. This is the most vivid portrayal yet of Obama’s worldview and presidency, a chronicle of a political education by a writer of enormous talent, and an essential record of the forces that shaped the last decade.

Read by Mark Deakins. Prologue read by the author.

Advance praise for The World as It Is

“Ben Rhodes is one of the most brilliant minds and powerful storytellers I've ever known. In The World as It Is, he doesn't just bring you inside the room for key moments of Obama's presidency, he captivates you with the journey of an idealistic young staffer who becomes the president's closest friend and advisor—a journey that both cynics and believers will find riveting and hopeful.”—Jon Favreau

Das Hörbuch richtet sich an alle, die sich für die Kapitel und Details der Obama Politik interessieren. Gewissermaßen eine Zusammenfassung, aber eben auch ein exklusiver Einblick in die Schulterperspektive eines beeindruckenden US-Präsidenten, der dem Amt eine besonderes Niveau von Würde gegeben hat. Man erfährt Abwägungsprozesse hinter den Entscheidungen, Erfolge und Niederlagen. Was ich besonders schätze ist die Einsicht in Obamas Charisma in der internen Kommunikation. Kommentare zu Entwicklungen der Weltpolitik, Weitsicht beim Abwägen der Konsequenzen und bei aller Verantwortung eine nie zuvor erreichte Souveränität und Eloquenz, seinem Stil und Prinzipien stets treu. Beeindruckendes Werk, das in meine TOP 100 der Bücher meines Lebens gehören wird.

this book is too short, I want more. through the eyes and words of Mr. Rhodes one gets to confirm the great quality of a man that Obama is and confirms the nasty politics that take place in the USA. The Obama administration should be very proud, they gave the world a glimpse of what a world can be when governed by well danting moral values, decency integrity, intelligence and knowledge. no wonder why Trump looks to destroy anything built by Obama and his team, he is a pitiful character outsmarted and outshone by them....thanks for the book, it is great to see that great characters still exist.

excellent, inspiring, should be read by everyone
