About A Promised Land
In the first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama reflects on his whirlwind campaign and the early years of his presidency, navigating the great challenges facing our nation.
“Barack Obama is as fine a writer as they come…. It is nearly always pleasurable to read, sentence by sentence, the prose gorgeous in places, the detail granular and vivid.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, The New York Times
