Overview

The ultimate visual portrait of Kamala Harris on her road to shattering America’s highest glass ceiling and making history—selected from the official White House photographers and beautifully curated in the spirit of Pete Souza’s #1 New York Times bestseller, Obama: An Intimate Portrait.  Kamala Harris has helped lead the United States through monumental crisis and change, and few have had fuller access to the most important moments in her career than the Official White House Photographers. From her four years in office as Vice President to her exuberant campaign for the Oval Office, their photographs capture American history as it unfolds. Featuring more than 200 photographs in rich full-color, Kamala Harris is the first book to gather the official photographs of Harris’s historic career. They include pivotal moments like defending the Affordable Care Act and the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, and solemn moments of duty, like calling Tyre Nichols’s mother in the wake of yet another murder at the hands of police. We see Harris alongside the American people, in expressions of solidarity with the queer community in her native California, and in a selfie with recent grads of Howard University. There are quieter moments, too, with her husband Doug Emhoff, and with her friends Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Harris’s own words accompany these beautifully reproduced photographs. From the White House and Air Force Two to visits with the American people in towns and cities across the country, here is Kamala Harris behind the scenes. Carefully curated by the editors of Mariner Books and reproduced to the highest standards, this visual celebration of Kamala Harris’s groundbreaking political career is perfect for anyone living through this monumental moment in American history.
