 remembered as a fiercely critical moment in history.\nWith huge victories 
 in the 2010 midterm elections, the Republican Party had successfully 
 blocked President Obama at every turn as they solidified plans to wrench 
 the entire country sharply to the right.  Facing free-spending 
 billionaires, Fox News, a passionate Tea Party, and a ferocious effort in 
 nineteen states to rig the election by suppressing Democratic votes, Obama 
 repelled the assault and navigated the nation back to the center.  Or did 
 he?\n\nJonathan Alter uses his unmatched access and deep knowledge of 
 politics to produce the first full account of America at a very dangerous 
 crossroads. He pierces the bubble of the White House and of the 
 presidential campaigns with exclusive reporting and rare historical 
 insight. More than a campaign book, this is the epic story of an embattled 
 president facing a historic moment many considered more profoundly pivotal 
 than 2008. \n\nAlter relates the untold story of Obama's decision to raid 
 Osama bin Laden's compound, the debt ceiling fiasco, run-ins with black and 
 Latino activists. He offers fresh details about the Koch brothers, Grover 
 Norquist, and the online haters who suffer from "Obama Derangement 
 Syndrome."  He portrays the Obama analytics geeks working out of "The Cave" 
 and the man who secretly videotaped Mitt Romney's infamous comments on the 
 "47 percent."\n\nJonathan Alter is the author of two best-selling books: 
 The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and The Triumph of Hope (2006) and 
 The Promise: President Obama, Year One. Alter is a contributing 
 correspondent to NBC News and is the lead correspondent on the website 
 Bloomberg View.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/05/23/18737298.php
