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. 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.
Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, elected in November 2008 and holding office for two terms. He is the author of two previous New York Times bestselling books, Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope, and the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Michelle. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
我感覺奧巴馬的聲音好適閤睡覺?
評分如果隻能選一本,我覺得他老婆的becoming更好看。這本裏太多泛泛而談,和他當總統一樣的風格
評分觀海同誌最可貴的地方在於敢於承認美國自私自大自以為是的一麵。你要是說你是你是世界的良心、民主的燈塔,我就隻想跟你說去你媽的吧跟誰倆裝呢;但你要是說你在能力所及、權衡利弊下盡量做齣體麵的錶率,我很難不認同美國的地位確實幾乎無可撼動。除瞭高等教育,好像年少時有機會體驗外麵的世界確實會對人世界觀産生很大的影響。書本身來說,一 提醒瞭大傢曾經還是會聽政客講話學習非小學英語詞匯語法的;二 the man doth protest too much; 三 真 他 媽 長……(按字數結稿費嗎觀海?)
評分這本700多頁的書是我送給自己的聖誕禮物。利用假期在聖誕前一天看完瞭。我不是美國人,對美國政治也沒有太大興趣,我完全沒有想到這本書會給我這麼多震動和感想。這位前總統屬於最好的那一類寫作者。清晰,透徹,生動,細緻,深具同理心,並且有一種罕見的執著的decency。看完我有太多想法想跟人討論,關於他對中國領導人的看法,對共和黨和川普的看法,關於他這個人,他對世界真正的影響,但是這些都在今天的社交網絡裏不能說或者不方便說瞭。我們現在生活的這個極化撕裂的世界,其實早在他當選之前就已經開始瞭。
評分Savored every page of it. While reading it, I re-watched all the main speeches he made on his first presidential campaign trail. They still brought tears to my eyes as they did when I was living through those days...
well, before I write the review, I mark this book as four stars. However, when I am clear about my judging standard, I decide this autobiography is five-stars. This is the first time I read( actually I finish this book by audio-book) autobiography written b...
評分2008年,奥巴马以芝加哥为总部竞选美国总统一举成功。那时的我对美国政治还不甚了解,只是为他无以伦比的亲和力所感染。到了2012年,那时的美国有了Sarah Palin,有了一种令人不安的胡搞气氛。所以奥巴马当选,令我松了一口气。转而到了2016年,希拉里在选票领先的同时大选失利...
評分翻阅中。美国全年最期待的书、奥巴马回忆录第一卷《应许之地》(A Promised Land)今天出版,我希望通过阅读大致清理出赢得7300万美国选民支持的“特朗普主义”的源头。我们现在看到的是浩荡奔腾的长江,而从个人经验猜想,奥巴马2008年当选后不久兴起的茶党运动应该算唐古拉山脉...
評分作为自传以及自己动机和功绩的阐述,这本书是很成功的。Obama本人文笔极佳,读起来也是专业水准。这本书基本上也成功营造了他所说的让人身临其境、感到身为总统的体验(虽然只是表面上的,但依然氛围优秀,如收尾的本拉登一段)。 更让人意外和惊喜的是,本书最好看的是其实成...
