ITEM: The Promise: President Obama, Year One, by Jonathan Alter.

Drawing on insider access and more than 200 interviews with key players, Washington veteran Jonathan Alter examines the nascent Obama presidency with a journalist\'s eye for the telling detail and a historian\'s perspective. Despite the transparency that the office of president demands (for the most part), Obama remained enigmatic--ebullient, confident, and optimistic; aloof, demanding, and maybe a bit out of touch.

Alter, whose obvious admiration for Obama never impedes his journalistic instincts (he candidly discusses Obama\'s missteps with Wall Street, for example), captures those contradictions well. Presidential chroniclers won\'t have the advantage of hindsight for some time, but \"when it comes ... to the first draft of history, The Promise is more polished--and far more thoughtful--than most\"
