In the stirring first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama
tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for
his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly
personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments
of the first term of his historic presidency―a time of dramatic
transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political
aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the
power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4,
2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming
the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office.
Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful
exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential
power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan
politics and international diplomacy.
A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective―the story
of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer
tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the forces that
opposed him at home and abroad and bearing the expectation of a
generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change”, and unafraid to
reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his
belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is
always possible.
This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s
conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something
founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by
day.
