A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to be elected Vice President of the United States.
In Kamalaisquo;s Way, longtime Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain charts how the daughter of two immigrants born in segregated California became one of this countryfsquo;s most effective power players. He takes readers through Harrisdsquo;s years in the San Francisco District Attorneyesquo;s Office, explores her audacious embrace of the little-known Barack Obama, and shows the sharp elbows she deployed to make it to the US Senate. He analyses her failure as a presidential candidate and the behind-the-scenes campaign she waged to land the Vice President spot. And along the way, Morain paints a vivid picture of her family, values and priorities, as well as the missteps, risks and bold moves shessquo;s made on her way to the top.
Kamalansquo;s Way is a comprehensive account of the Vice President-Elect and her history-making career.
