A Promised Land Viking 9780241491515 Захватывающий

Захватывающий, глубоко личный рассказ о зарождающейся истории - от президента, который вдохновил нас поверить в силу демократии В волнующем, долгожданном первом томе своих президентских мемуаров Барак Обама рассказывает историю своей невероятной одиссеи от молодого человека, ищущего свою идентичность, до лидера свободного мира. "Земля обетованная" необычайно интимна и интроспективна - история о споре одного человека с историей, вера общественного организатора проверена на мировой арене. Обама откровенен в том, что ему приходится балансировать между тем, чтобы баллотироваться на пост чернокожего американца, соответствовать ожиданиям поколения, поддерживаемого посланиями о "надежде и переменах", и отвечать моральным вызовам, связанным с принятием решений с высокими ставками. Книга на английском языке. 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...
