A Promised Land is the extraordinarily intimate and introspective story of one man’s bet with history and 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, 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 his 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.
