Now, Tamim Ansary draws on his Afghan background, Muslim roots, and Western and Afghan sources to explain history from the inside out and to illuminate the long, internal struggle that the outside world has never fully understood.

Barack Obama didn’t break the system. He mastered it. This is not a tribute. And it’s not a takedown. It’s a clear-eyed walk through one of the most disciplined presidencies in American history. From a kid with no defined center to a commander-in-chief who made calm look presidential and control look easy. He didn’t storm in with fire. He played the long game. He passed healthcare reform when everyone said it couldn’t be done. He ordered drone strikes with surgical silence. He addressed racism while trying not to set the country on fire.
