Inside the Obama White House: A Front-Row Seat to History
The scene in Lima, Peru, during Obama's final international trip as president, captures the essence of Ben Rhodes' intimate memoir. As world leaders anxiously sought reassurance about America's future under Trump, Obama turned to Rhodes in their motorcade and asked a question that revealed his deepest doubts: "What if we were wrong?" Had they pushed too far with their progressive vision? Despite his public confidence, Obama wondered if perhaps he had been "ten or twenty years too early." This rare moment of vulnerability from a man who had inspired global hope forms the emotional core of Rhodes' account. As Obama's speechwriter, foreign policy advisor, and confidant for nearly a decade, Rhodes provides an unfiltered view into the presidency during a period of extraordinary global change. His perspective isn't just that of a staffer, but of someone who helped shape the administration's voice and vision from campaign days through the final hours in office.
