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

Most inspiring Biography
The book is incredibly interesting, heart-warming and hopeful. It opens up on Obamas thinking and life as a president which is a priviledge to read on about. I love it and would recommend it to every person every time.
More is more…
I would have never expected that a former president of the USA would be so transparent and detailed in the description of his work and his decision making.
Whenever Obama shares his thoughts it gives me hope for mankind and our planet. Because they all seem to emerge from a point of honest love for the world and the beings living in it.
