This evening Richard Wolffe is due to speak at Chatham House on "Obama's First Months: Was the hype and hope justified?". I'm very much looking forward to hearing his talk. Recently he has published a fast moving, but thoughtful study of the new American President "Renegade: The Making of Barack Obama". As well as attending Jazz Matters at the Stables, Wavendon - and two superb visits to Bletchley Park this weekend, I've been reading this book - which I would recommend to anyone wanting a deeper insight into the President.

Richard Wolffe was born in Birmingham, England and graduated with a first from Oxford University. He has worked as a journalist (Deputy Bureau Chief & US diplomatic correspondent, Washington DC) for the Financial Times before moving to Newsweek where he became their Chief White House correspondent. Currently he is a Senior Strategist for Public Strategies Inc. is a political analyst for MSNBC.
