The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream

The Audacity of Hope is an extraordinary book by an extraordinary man. If Barack Obama is elected as the first black President of the United States he will dramatically change the face that his country presents to the world.

In his bestselling book he spells out a vision of public life which is about finding the common threads that bind us all. He describes his hopes for a different America, and how the ideals of its democracy can be renewed.

The Audacity of Hope is a superbly written and effortlessly readable book. Barack Obama writes with intimacy and self-deprecating humour about his experiences as a politician, about balancing his family life and his public vocation. Behind every sentence is his quest for consensus, and his respect for the democratic process.

He is a great American writer who is now changing the course of politics in his own country.
