A new book chronicles circumstances of the emergence of Barack Obama

President Barack Obama

A new book on the foreseen and unforeseen circumstances of the emergence of Barack Obama will be released soon. The book written by a Nigerian writer and historian E.M. Chima captures Obama as a phenomenal African American politician from Chicago and all the important issues he addressed and debated with his political opponents during his melodramatic presidential campaign, nomination and election as the first black President of the United States of America during a turbulent period in the world with millions traumatized by the tragedies of the war on terror in the Middle East, shocking socio-political scandals and dysfunctional economies of the global meltdown.

With all the Glory to the Almighty God and Father, I am dedicating my new book to Mo Abudu's Inspire Africa. The book is on the foreseen and unforeseen circumstances and events during the U.S. presidential campaign that led to the nomination and election of the first black President of the United States of Ameria.

~ Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima
