President Obama's Half Brother To Write Tell All Book On Barack Obama Snr.
Mark Obama Ndesandjo
The Ivy-League educated half-brother of President Obama is publishing his autobiography in which he makes the shocking claim their father dished out alcohol-fueled beatings to him and his mother and in one terrifying instance held a knife to her throat. Mark Obama Ndesandjo, 48, also uses his new book to set the U.S. president straight on inaccuracies he claims exist in his best-selling 1995 memoir Dreams From My Father and confirms they have never seen eye-to-eye because 'Barack thought I was too white and I thought he was too black.'
The self-published book, Cultures: My Odyssey of Self-Discovery, which will be released in February, claims that Barack Obama Sr. consistently battered his wife when they lived in Kenya and details Ndesandjo's journey from the African country to America and finally to China where he now lives with his wife.

Ndesandjo also recounts his sporadic but intense encounters with his brother over the years and when asked how he would describe his relationship with his brother, he said, 'Right now it's cold and I think part of the reason is because of my writing. My writing has alienated some people in my family.' Even though he felt their relationship was distant, 'I hope that my brother and I can really hug each other after he's president and we can be a family again,' said Ndesandjo, who resembles Obama.
