Book Synopsis
Feared by conservatives and embraced by liberals when he entered the White House, Barack Obama has since been battered by criticism from both sides. Obama, the author argues, represents the values of a lesser-known third tradition in American political thought that defies the usual left-right categorization.

Trade Review
"Obama's vision of E Pluribus Unum - a democratic progressive vision - is central both to his own sense of purpose and to his appeal. Ruth O'Brien lays out very concretely how this vision is expressed in Obama's policy positions and modes of governing. Out of Many, One is a distinctive and thought-provoking contribution to understanding Obama and contemporary American political thought." (Rogers M. Smith, University of Pennsylvania)"
