<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the author of <i>What's the Matter with California? </i>comes a bold, well-researched examination of whether Barack Obama's <i>Dreams from My Father</i>-- and whether it is more myth than fact. </b> <p/>How did Barack Obama, a man who had previously written little else, suddenly pen what <i>Time </i>magazine calls "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician"? Here, in <i>Deconstructing Obama</i>, political scholar and author Jack Cashill analyzes and pieces together Obama's statements about his life to get at the truth behind the man. <p/>Cashill's "eureka" moment came when he realized that the structure of <i>Dreams of My Father </i>loosely mirrors that of Homer's Odyssey. From the moment of that revelation, Cashill researched, read, and examined interviews, writings, and statements about the President's life story, focusing especially on a poem written when Obama was nineteen. According to the facts, in conjunction with Obama's statements and writings, Cashill's conclusion is that the stories don't add up--and for the nearly 2 million people who read and accepted the story about Obama's life--the truth is that it may be more myth than history.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>An independent writer and producer, Jack Cashill has written a dozen nonfiction books and appeared on C-SPAN's <i>Book TV</i> ten times.
