The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House

Clearheaded. I enjoyed every minute I spent reading Ben Rhodes finely written book titled, The World As It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House. Rhodes worked as a speechwriter and deputy national security advisor, serving as an aide to President Obama during the entire administration. His reflections are clear and finely written: readers get an insider’s view of the White House, and readers get to spend time with an intelligent young man whose idealism and perspective and humanity appear on every well-written page of this book. Many political memoirs are so slanted in perspective that they come across as grossly incomplete. Here, we get a broad perspective, warts and all, of a young man’s complete and formative experience in the job and opportunity of a lifetime.
