What Barack is Reading

Barack Obama hits the tarmac in Bozeman, Montana with book in hand.

The marketing folks at W.W. Norton where all over this one. I am not sure the New Times slideshow was finished before they blasted the blogwaves alerting us to this biblio treat.

The book? Fareed Zakaria’s new book The Post-American World published by W.W. Norton.

The book begins in pure Barackian fashion -“This is a book not about the decline of America but rather the rise of everyone else.”

Zakaria is editor of Newsweek International and writes a regular column on foreign affairs for Newsweek. He will also be the host of a new CNN program which will focus on international news.
