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 \u003ci\u003eDeepwater Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Promised Land\u003c\/i\u003e 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 balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/barack-obama-books\"\u003eBarack Obama\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biography \u0026amp; memoir, Presidents \u0026amp; Heads of State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e National Geographic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780525633761\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"National Geographic Books","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £4.79","offer_id":47912043610289,"sku":"SB-0525633766-C2","price":4.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0525633766.jpg?v=1789238374"},{"product_id":"dreams-from-my-father-a-story-of-race-and-inheritance-a-story-of-race-and-inheritance","title":"Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance: A Story of Race and Inheritance","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American.
