David Maraniss, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and critically acclaimed biographer, discusses his new book “Barack Obama: The Story,” a multigenerational portrait of President Obama and his American and Kenyan families.
Drawing on four years of research around the world, 350 interviews and thousands of documents, letters and journals, Maraniss evokes the times, places, and forces that shaped Obama’s personality.
Maraniss is an associate editor at The Washington Post. He is the author of five critically acclaimed and best-selling books, including biographies of Bill Clinton, Vince Lombardi and Roberto Clemente.
Maraniss won the Pulitzer for national reporting in 1993 for his newspaper coverage of then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton. He was part of The Washington Post team that won a 2008 Pulitzer for its coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting.
