A Promised Land
Barack Obama
751 pages | Published by Crown
A Promised Land is Barack Obama's telling of his life and career, highlighting his early political career, his presidential campaign, and his first term as president.
This audiobook was about 28 hours and I could easily have listened to another 28. I'm so glad that Obama wrote this - I was not paying attention to politics at the time and now I feel like I have a much better understanding of the political landscape of this time.
Obama draws so many amazing parallels to his early presidential days and campaign to what we've seen over the last few years, like the positives and negatives of social media, and even the early appeal of Sarah Palin.
A great mix of politics and life but I was glad I had read Becoming as well so get another perspective on the family's time in the White House. My only wish is that we to hear more about his second term and the transition of power to 45 - but I can understand not wanting to feed the discussion around DT.
