Brian Abrams’s new book “OBAMA: An Oral History 2009-2017” is the first comprehensive look into President Barack Obama’s White House. Featuring on-the-record conversations with over 100 West Wing staffers, administration insiders, legislators, political opponents and rival campaign managers, the book offers what Kirkus Review called “an entertaining, enlightening look at an administration that was never dull.” In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large,” Brian tells Leonard about the revelations he uncovered about America’s first African-American president while working on the book and reflects on the process that went into compiling the first oral history of Obama’s eight years of in office, as told by the people who were there.
