Revival is the dramatic inside story of the defining

period of the Obama White House. It is an epic tale that follows

the president and his inner circle from the crisis of defeat to

historic success. Over the span of an extraordinary two months in

the life of a young presidency, Obama and his senior aides engaged

in a desperate struggle for survival that stands as the measure of

who they are and how they govern.

Bestselling Obama biographer Richard Wolffe draws on unrivaled

access to the West Wing to write a natural sequel to his critically

acclaimed book about the president and his campaign. He traces an

arc from near death to resurrection that is a repeated pattern for

Obama, first as a candidate and now as president. Starting at the

first anniversary of the inauguration, Wolffe paints a portrait of

a White House at work under exceptional strain across a sweeping

set of challenges: from health care reform to a struggling economy,

from two wars to terrorism.

Revival is a road map to understanding the dynamics,

characters, and disputes that shape the Obama White House. It

reveals for the first time the fault lines at the heart of the West

Wing between two groups competing for control of the president’s

agenda. On one side are the Revivalists, who want to return to the

high-minded spirit of the presidential campaign. On the other side

are the Survivalists, who believe that government demands a

low-minded set of compromises and combat.

At the center of this compelling story is a man who remains opaque

to supporters, staff, and critics alike. What motivates him to risk

his presidency on health care? What frustrations does he feel at

this incredible time of testing? Written by the author who knows

Obama best, Revival is a frank and intimate account of a

president struggling to adapt, enduring failure, and outfoxing his

foes. It is a must-read volume, full of exclusive insights into the

untold and unfinished story of a new force in world politics.
