En gripande, djupt personlig redogörelse om ögonblicken när historia skrivs – av presidenten som inspirerade oss till att tro på demokratins kraft.
I den fascinerande och efterlängtade första volymen av sina memoarer berättar Barack Obama historien om sin osannolika resa, från en ung man sökande efter sin identitet till ledare för den fria världen. Djupt personligt beskriver han sin politiska utveckling och sina milstolpar från den första mandatperioden i detta historiska presidentskap - en tid av stor oro och dramatiska förändringar.
Obama tar med läsaren på en fängslande resa från sina tidigaste politiska ambitioner till den avgörande segern i Iowa - som visade på gräsrotsrörelsens betydelse - och slutligen till den historiska natten till den 4 november 2008, då han valdes till USA:s 44:e president och blev den första, svarta amerikanen att inneha landets högsta ämbete.
I boken reflekterar Obama över ordförandeskapet och erbjuder ett unikt belysande av både räckvidden och begränsningarna i presidentmakten, liksom insikter i den amerikanska partipolitikens dynamik och internationella diplomati.
Obama tar med läsaren till Ovala rummet och Vita husets Situation Room - även till Moskva, Kairo, Peking och många andra platser. Läsaren får ta del av hans tankar när han sätter ihop sitt kabinett, brottas med en global finanskris, tar tempen på Vladimir Putin, övervinner till synes oöverstigliga odds för att säkerställa genomförandet av Obamacare, kommer i konflikt med generaler om USA:s strategi i Afghanistan, tacklar Wall Street-reformen, svarar på den förödande Deepwater Horizon-explosionen och godkänner Operation Neptune’s Spear som ledde till Osama bin Ladens död.
"Ett förlovat land" är en djupt personlig och introspektiv bok – det är berättelsen om en man som utmanade historien, berättelsen om en samhällsorganisatörs övertygelse och tro, vilken prövades på världsscenen. Obama hycklar inte med den svåra balansgången i att kandidera till president och att samtidigt vara svart amerikan, att bära en hel generations förväntningar på sina axlar med ropen om ”hopp och förändring”, och att möta moraliska utmaningar i beslut med höga insatser. Han är uppriktig över de krafter som motarbetade honom hemma och utomlands, öppen om hur livet i Vita huset påverkade hans fru och döttrar och är inte rädd för att erkänna självtvivel och besvikelser. Samtidigt rubbas aldrig hans tro på att framsteg och utveckling alltid är möjligt inom det pågående, stora amerikanska experimentet.
Den här välskrivna, kraftfulla boken fångar Barack Obamas övertygelse om att demokrati inte är en gåva uppifrån, utan något som bygger på empati, gemensam förståelse - och byggs tillsammans dag för dag.

Två gamla vänner pratar om livet och kärleken till Amerika. Det blir – förutom minst en Corvette-resa – ett uppriktigt, underhållande och avslöjande samtal om äktenskap och faderskap, om ras, maskulinitet, politik och musik. Här ryms också mer än 350 foton, anteckningar, tal, låttexter och aldrig tidigare publicerat material.
”År 2020 väckte mycket känslor i mig. I tre år hade jag sett ett land som tycktes bli argare och mer segregerat för varje dag. Sedan kom en historisk pandemi som tvingade oss att fundera över vad som verkligen är viktigt i livet. Hur kom vi hit? Hur kan vi hitta tillbaka till en mer enad amerikansk historia?” Barack Obama

A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND PEOPLENAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times • NPR • The Guardian • Slate • Vox • The Economist • Marie Claire 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. 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. 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.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.

An international bestseller which has sold over a million copies in the UK, Dreams From My Father is a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking big questions about identity and belonging. The son of a Black African father and a white American mother, Barack Obama recounts an emotional odyssey, retracing the migration of his mother's family from Kansas to Hawai'i, then to his childhood home in Indonesia. Finally he travels to Kenya, where he confronts the bitter truth of his father's life and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Written nearly fifteen years before becoming president, Dreams from My Father is an unforgettable read. It illuminates not only Obama's journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history and what makes us who we are.

They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment.At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories about family, friends, and members of the Senate is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. A public servant and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature, Barack Obama has written a book of transforming power. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, he says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”From the Hardcover edition.

In 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. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

En La audacia de la esperanza, el senador demócrata Barack Obama reclama una política diferente—una política para quienes están cansados del agrio partidismo, una política que se basa en la fe, la participación de todos y la nobleza de espíritu que es parte esencial de “nuestro improbable proyecto de democracia”. En el corazón de este libro está la visión del senador Obama de cómo podemos superar nuestras divisiones para enfrentar los problemas concretos. Él examina la creciente inseguridad económica de las familias estadounidenses, las tensiones raciales y religiosas dentro del cuerpo político y las amenazas transnacionales—desde el terrorismo hasta las pandemias—que se congregan más allá de nuestras costas. En sus anécdotas acerca de su familia, amigos, miembros del Senado y hasta del presidente, existe un poderoso deseo de establecer conexiones: la plataforma de un consenso político radicalmente optimista.Como senador y abogado, profesor y padre, cristiano y escéptico, y sobre todo como estudioso de la historia y de la naturaleza humana, el senador Obama ha escrito un libro de un poder transformador.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Now adapted for young adults—the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir, which Toni Morrison called “quite extraordinary,” offers an intimate look at Barack Obama’s early days. This is a compelling journey tracing the future 44th president's odyssey through family, race, and identity. A revealing portrait of a young Black man asking questions about self-discovery and belonging—long before he became one of the most important voices in America. This unique edition includes a new introduction from the author, full-color photo insert, and family tree. The son of a white American mother and a Black Kenyan father, Obama was born in Hawaii, where he lived until he was six years old, when he moved with his mother and stepfather to Indonesia. At twelve, he returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. Obama brings readers along as he faces the challenges of high school and college, living in New York, becoming a community organizer in Chicago, and traveling to Kenya. Through these experiences, he forms an enduring commitment to leadership and justice. Told through the lens of his relationships with his family—the mother and grandparents who raised him, the father he knows more as a myth than as a man, and the extended family in Kenya he meets for the first time—Obama confronts the complicated truth of his father’s life and legacy and comes to embrace his divided heritage. On his journey to adulthood from a humble background, he forges his own path through trial and error while staying connected to his roots. Barack Obama is determined to lead a life of purpose, service, and authenticity. This powerful memoir will inspire readers to examine both where they come from and where they are capable of going.
