First Lady Michelle Obama was frustrated with her husband’s advisers and clashed with then chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, especially over the push for health care overhaul.

The two rarely saw eye to eye. The book reveals several fascinating bits of information - from Mr Emanuel rebuffing the first lady’s chief of staff, Jackie Norris, from attending a morning meeting of top staffers, to Mrs Obama’s reticence to campaign in the 2010 midterm elections.
