A PROMISED LAND HB
Εκδότης Viking , ISBN 9780241491515
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the
president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy
In the stirring, highly anticipated 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.
Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation
Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his
thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis,
takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable
odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about
U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the
devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's
Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
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.
