"A cool refuge from the heat of a very orange sun... [Shade]
illustrate[s] the extent to which Obama's expansive ideals have
been edged out by Trump's politics of meanness and
resentment."--Shondaland
"As President Obama's photographer, Pete Souza was one of the very
finest official White House snappers. In his provocative Shade: A
Tale of Two Presidents, he contrasts pictures of the 44th incumbent
with vignettes from the administration of the 45th to caustic
effect."--Ben Schott, The Guardian
"In Shade... [Pete Souza] continues to juxtapose Mr. Obama and Mr.
Trump via images, headlines, and tweets... he's not throwing shade,
he insists--he's just telling the truth."--Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette
"Pete Souza became an Instagram celebrity by documenting the White
House. Then he became an even bigger one by criticizing it."--New
York Times
"Playful yet biting... commentary on Trump's current antics... to
remind us what a president can be."--BookRiot
"Powerful... A striking, at times even hilarious book, but by the
end it leaves the reader with a profound sense of loss... Shade
drives home Obama's humanity and dignity and Trump's petty mind and
epic failings like few other documents."--Rolling Stone
"These juxtapositions of permanence and transience are ultimately
what make Shade a compelling read; powerful, memorable portraits of
an eight-year presidency stand beside headlines and tweets that
surface on Twitter feeds for a few days at most and then are
brushed aside amid new ones. The book is not just a tale of two
presidents, but a tale of two political and media landscapes."--NPR
