THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making?a record-breaking, critically acclaimed no.1 bestseller.
'Gorgeously written, humorous, compelling, life affirming' Justin Webb, Mail on Sunday
In the first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama recounts his journey from a young man searching for his identity to the 44th president of the United States, describing in strikingly personal detail his political education and landmark moments of his first term.
Reflecting on his presidency, Obama takes readers from his early political dreams to his Iowa caucus victory and the historic night of November 4, 2008, when he became the first African American president. It is 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

Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)
An Idealist comes to the White House …
Sounds like a joke, but Barack Obama’s book, part memoir, part political treatise, explains exactly that: How he came to be a politician, what difficulties presented themselves, when he finally won the elections and how politics is very often nothing more than finding the best compromise. All that is told in exquisite prose, which helps to overlook the typically American pathos, that shines trough from time to time. As he only reaches Osama bin Laden’s assassination in 2011 after 700 pages, I wonder, if he actually only needs one other book to get to the end of his presidency. Either way, I’m looking forward to reading more.
