![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Renegade is not just an election epic but is also an insightful biography of the new President of the United States. We fly on the candidate's plane and ride in his bus on an odyssey across a country in crisis we stand next to him at a bar on the night he secures the nomination and feel the tension backstage as he delivers his convention speech to a stadium crowd and a transfixed TV audience. In Renegade, Richard Wolffe shares with us his front-row seat at Obama s announcement to run for president on a frigid day in Springfield, and his victory speech on a warm night in Chicago. ![]() With unprecedented access, gained over a dozen exclusive interviews with Obama, Wolffe shares with us his front row seat. Wolffe portrays an historic candidate and his - until now - inscrutable character and campaign in untold, stunning detail, from his university lecturer's office in Iowa to the Oval Office in Washington. But it is also a uniquely intimate portrait of the person behind the iconic posters and the man codenamed 'Renegade' by his Secret Service protectors. During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama himself told veteran political reporter Richard Wolffe, 'You'll get more access than anyone else', and Renegade is his unique story of how a political newcomer with no money and an outsider's name grew into the world's most powerful leader. ![]()
