THIS is a behind-the-scenes look at Barack Obama’s campaign to become the President of the US.

Supported by remarkable and intimate photographs taken by Callie Shell, who’s followed Obama since 2006, the all-glossy book aims to tell the story of his life, from his modest childhood to his election win celebration.

These, together with articles and analysis from the Time political team, make for a dramatic portrait of the politician who’s won over US hearts and will be inaugurated as the 44th president in only a matter of hours.
