Ruptured Histories: War, Memory and the Post-Cold War
EXCLUSIVE: 'They went back and forth having sex, screaming, yelling, having sex.' Meet the college professor who Barack Obama loved and lost because he 'wasn't black enough to have a white wife'
The woman who Barack Obama proposed to – twice - before he met Michelle was seen quietly getting on with academic life this week after revelations about their relationship emerged in a new presidential biography.
Sheila Miyoshi Jager, 53, appeared in good spirits as she walked with a female friend on the campus of liberal arts Oberlin College where she is a professor of East Asian studies.
Jager revealed she was the former president’s first love in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama by Pulitzer prize-winning biographer David J. Garrow.
She shared secrets of their relationship including that she continued to see Obama on and off for at least a year after he met the First Lady.
‘I always felt bad about it,’ Jager told Garrow.

Brothers at War
More than sixty years after North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea, the Korean War is still not over--yet it has become a forgotten episode in American history. Now, Sheila Miyoshi Jager combines international events with previously unknown personal accounts to create a comprehensive new history of that war. From American, Korean, Soviet and Chinese perspectives, she explores its origins, development and global implications. The epic story begins in mid-World War II, when Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill fiercely debated the possibility of Korean independence, and ends in the present day as North Korea, with China's aid, starves its population as it stockpiles nuclear weapons. Drawing on newly available diplomatic archives in several nations, this is the first account to examine both the military and the social, cultural, and political aspect of the war and its impactFrom publisher description.
L’ex président des États-Unis, Barack Obama est très heureux aux côtés de son épouse Michelle. Tellement ils nous en mettent plein la vue, on pourrait presque croire que Barack et Michelle Obama n’ont jamais eu d’autres amours, avant leur rencontre. Ce qui justifie sans doute la surprise de certains internautes suite à l’annonce d’un nouveau livre consacré au prédécesseur de Donald Trump qui sort en ce début du mois de mai, intitulé « Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama » signé David Garrow. Le livre fait de nouvelles révélations sur le passé de Barack. On y apprendrait par exemple que Barack Obama aurait demandé la main de l’une de ses conquêtes, laquelle l’aurait éconduit non pas une, mais deux fois.
L’inaccessible se nommerait Sheila Miyoshi Jager. Cet ex-compagne supposée en question, évoque leur rencontre au milieu des années 80, alors qu’ils n’étaient encore que des étudiants. Il révélé que c’est à cette époque que Barack Obama se serait jeté une première fois à l’eau en , sans succès. Les raisons avancées: ses parents étaient opposés à l’idée d’un mariage en raison de leur trop jeune
