A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. 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 U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-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 balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` 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.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.

Ve vzpomínkách na své působení v prezidentském úřadu nechává Obama čtenáře nahlédnout do Oválné pracovny Bílého domu, bere je s sebou na cesty do Moskvy, Káhiry nebo Pekingu. Mohou sledovat jeho úvahy při sestavování vlády, v boji se světovou finanční krizí, při překonávání překážek na cestě k prosazení zákona o dostupné zdravotní péči, sporech s generály o americkou strategii v Afghánistánu nebo schválení operace Neptunovo kopí, jež vedla k smrti Usámy bin Ládina. Země zaslíbená je příběh muže, jenž se úspěšně pokusil o nemožné. Prezident Obama líčí, jak se vyrovnával s tím, že se jako první Afroameričan ucházel o prezidentský úřad, čelil obrovským očekáváním, ale současně zápolil s morálními dilematy rozhodování na nejvyšší úrovni.

Audiokniha: Strhujúce osobné rozprávanie o tom, ako sa tvorí história, z pera prezidenta, ktorý posilnil vieru Američanov v silu demokracie. V dlho očakávanej prvej časti memoárov prináša Barack Obama príbeh neuveriteľnej odysey mladého muža hľadajúceho svoju identitu, ktorý sa nakoniec stane vodcom slobodného sveta. Obama úprimne odkrýva detaily svojho politického vývoja a približuje kľúčové chvíle pôsobenia na poste prezidenta Spojených štátov amerických počas svojho prvého funkčného obdobia – v čase prevratných a dramatických zmien. Pozýva čitateľov na neodolateľnú púť, počnúc najranejšími politickými ambíciami cez rozhodujúce víťazstvo v iowskom volebnom zhromaždení, ktoré ukázalo silu lokálneho aktivizmu, po prelomovú noc 4. novembra 2008, keď sa stal 44. prezidentom Spojených štátov a prvým Afroameričanom na najvyššom poste krajiny. Obama uvažuje o svojom pôsobení v úrade prezidenta a jedinečným spôsobom skúma obrovský dosah aj limity prezidentskej moci. Dovolí nám pritom nazrieť do dynamiky americkej straníckej politiky a medzinárodnej diplomacie. Vezme nás so sebou do Oválnej pracovne aj do Situačnej miestnosti Bieleho domu, zavedie nás do Moskvy, Káhiry, Pekingu a na ďalšie miesta, ktoré navštívil. Prezrádza nám, na čo myslel, keď zostavoval svoj kabinet, bojoval s finančnou krízou, stretol sa s Vladimirom Putinom a s ďalšími štátnikmi. Dozvieme sa, ako prekonal zdanlivo neprekonateľné rozpory pri schvaľovaní zákona o dostupnej starostlivosti, vzoprel sa generálom v otázke americkej stratégie v Afganistane, reformoval Wall Street, zasahoval po ničivej havárii Deepwater Horizon či schválil operáciu Neptúnov trojzubec, ktorá vyvrcholila usmrtením Usámu bin Ládina. Zasľúbená zem je hlboko osobný introspektívny príbeh muža, ktorý uzavrel stávku s históriou a vypracoval sa z lokálneho politika až na svetové javisko. Obama úprimne rozpráva o hľadaní rovnováhy medzi rozhodnutím kandidovať na najvyšší úrad z pozície muža čiernej pleti, prijatím očakávaní, ktoré naňho kládla generácia volajúca po naplnení prísľubu „nádeje a zmeny”, a zvládnutím morálnej výzvy urobiť správne rozhodnutie, keď ide o veľa. Otvorene hovorí o silách, ktorým čelil doma aj v zahraničí, vysvetľuje, ako život v Bielom dome ovplyvnil jeho manželku a dcéry, a nebojí sa priznať vlastné sklamania a pochybnosti o sebe samom. Nikdy však nezakolíše vo viere, že v prebiehajúcom veľkom americkom experimente je pokrok vždy možný. Táto silná a výborne napísaná audiokniha zachytáva presvedčenie Baracka Obamu, že demokracia nie je darom zhora, ale buduje sa dennodenným úsilím založeným na empatii a vzájomnom pochopení.

In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity.
