Summary:
With a humorist's eye for detail and a convert's zeal, Litt takes us inside his eight years on the front lines of Obamaworld. In his political coming-of-age story, he goes from starry-eyed college student to nervous junior speechwriter to White House senior staff. In between lighthearted observations, he addresses one of today's most important issues: the legacy and future of the Obama movement in the age of Trump.
