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 US strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune\u2019s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n<p>A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective &#8211; the story of one man\u2019s 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 \u201chope and change\u201d, 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.<\/p>\n<p>This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama\u2019s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.<\/p>\n<p><b>Price:<\/b> <span style=\"color:#b12704\">$0.00<\/span><br \/><i><small>(as of Mar 01, 2025 01:14:33 UTC &#8211; <span class=\"wp_automatic_amazon_disclaimer\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
