&ldquo;Ben Rhodes, who served Barack Obama as a foreign policy adviser and speechwriter from beginning to end, has written a book that reflects the president he served&mdash;intelligent, amiable, compelling and principled. And there is something more: The World as It Is is&#160;a classic coming-of-age story, about the journey from idealism to realism, told with candor and immediacy. It is not a heavy policy book. There are anecdotes galore, but they illuminate rather than scandalize. Even Donald Trump&mdash;a politician who seems the omega to Obama&rsquo;s alpha&mdash;is treated with horrified amazement rather than vitriol. . . . Ben Rhodes is a charming and humble guide through an unprecedented presidency. . . . He never quite loses his idealism; in a crass political era, he impressively avoids becoming a cynic. . . .&#160;His achievement is rare for a political memoir: He has written a humane and honorable book.&rdquo;&mdash;Joe Klein,&#160;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;In The World as It Is, Rhodes shows no trace of the disillusionment that gave George Stephanopoulos&rsquo;s tale of Bill Clinton its bitter, gossipy flavor, or of the light irony that came to inflect Peggy Noonan&rsquo;s adoration of Ronald Reagan. More than any other White House memoirist, Rhodes is a creature of the man he served. . . .&#160;This is the closest view of Obama we&rsquo;re likely to get until he publishes his own memoir.&rdquo;&mdash;George Packer,&#160;The New Yorker &ldquo;The World as It Is&#160;offers a peek into Mr. Obama&rsquo;s tightly sealed inner sanctum from the perspective of one of the few people who saw him up close through all eight years of his presidency.&#160;Few moments shook Mr. Obama more than the decision by voters to replace him with a candidate who had questioned his very birth.&rdquo;&mdash;Peter Baker,&#160;The New York Times &ldquo;The World As It Is&#160;opens and closes with Obama&rsquo;s reaction to the election of Donald Trump. In between,&#160;it recounts world events in a newsy, intimate chronology.&rdquo;&mdash;Karl Vick,&#160;Time &ldquo;For insight on that Obama playbook, it makes sense to consult Ben Rhodes&rsquo;s fine new memoir of the Obama years. . . . Rhodes was &lsquo;in the room&rsquo; for almost every foreign policy decision of significance that Obama made during his eight years in office and in a privileged position to chronicle how the idealism of the early Obama administration faded as it confronted the realities of an often-Hobbesian world.&rdquo;&mdash;Peter Bergen, CNN&ldquo;Ben Rhodes is one of the most brilliant minds and powerful storytellers I&rsquo;ve ever known. In The World as It Is, he doesn&rsquo;t just bring you inside the room for the key moments of Obama&rsquo;s presidency, he captivates you with the journey of an idealistic young staffer who becomes the president&rsquo;s close friend and advisor&mdash;a journey that both cynics and believers will find riveting and hopeful.&rdquo;&mdash;Jon Favreau &ldquo;The World as It Is is a page-turning, unfiltered, altogether human look at Barack Obama&rsquo;s presidency. Ben Rhodes&mdash;one of Obama&rsquo;s closest and most important advisors&mdash;opens up the defining issues of the presidency, from the role of race and the rise of conspiracy theories to the hunt for bin Laden, the Syria &lsquo;red line&rsquo; debate, and the secret negotiations Ben himself led to normalize ties with Cuba. Insightful, funny, and moving, this is a beautifully observed, essential record of what it was like to be there.&rdquo;&mdash;Samantha Power
