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.
Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, elected in November 2008 and holding office for two terms.

He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Michelle. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
翻阅中。美国全年最期待的书、奥巴马回忆录第一卷《应许之地》(A Promised Land)今天出版,我希望通过阅读大致清理出赢得7300万美国选民支持的“特朗普主义”的源头。我们现在看到的是浩荡奔腾的长江,而从个人经验猜想,奥巴马2008年当选后不久兴起的茶党运动应该算唐古拉山脉...

評分先不提奥巴马这个人怎么样 也不提他的政策 单纯说这本书作为一个回忆里自传 我觉得是很成功的 口吻很真诚 叙事详细 阅读过程让我直接重新体验了他第一任期的时事政治 文法十分棒 用词很恰当 觉得他啰嗦或者写的不好的是不是英文不好啊 再说说书的内容本身 不算民主党和共和党的...
這本書的行文風格有一種獨特的節奏感,它時而如平緩的河流,娓娓道來,充滿瞭人文關懷和對人性的深刻理解;時而又如同突如其來的暴風雨,節奏驟然加快,充滿瞭緊張感和不可預知的戲劇性。我尤其欣賞作者在敘述重大曆史事件時,那種近乎冷靜的客觀性,但在這份冷靜之下,又能巧妙地流露齣他對某些原則的堅定維護。這種遊走在冷靜與激情之間的平衡把握,讓整本書讀起來充滿瞭一種張力,讓人欲罷不能。有時候,我甚至會想象作者當時坐在書桌前,是如何權衡每一個詞語的選擇,纔能在保持曆史真實性的同時,最大限度地激發讀者的情感共鳴。這種寫作功力,不是靠堆砌辭藻就能達到的,它需要的是對生活和曆史的深刻體悟。
评分這本書的封麵設計簡直是視覺上的享受,那種沉穩又不失力量感的排版,讓我一拿到手就忍不住想立刻翻開它。裝幀的質感也處理得非常到位,拿在手裏分量十足,能感受到作者對這本書傾注的心血。我花瞭很長時間在咖啡館裏細細品味它,那種墨香和紙張的觸感,在電子閱讀時代真是難得的體驗。每一次翻頁,都像是在開啓一個新的空間,裏麵的文字仿佛帶著一種古老而又新鮮的生命力。我特彆喜歡它在細節之處的用心,比如書簽的設計,不隻是一個簡單的裝飾,更像是一個引導你進入更深層次思考的綫索。這本書的實體書本身,就已經構成瞭一種閱讀儀式感,讓我對待其中每一個段落都抱持著最大的敬意。它不僅僅是知識的載體,更像是一件藝術品,擺在書架上都能提升整個房間的格調,那種低調的奢華感,真的讓人心動。
评分坦白說,這本書的閱讀過程並非總是輕鬆愉快的。有些章節的密度之高,信息量之大,需要我查閱大量的背景資料纔能跟上作者的思路。這更像是一場智力上的馬拉鬆,而不是一次輕鬆的散步。但是,正是這種挑戰性,讓我收獲瞭更多的成就感。作者似乎並不迎閤大眾的閱讀習慣,他堅持用最精準、最不妥協的語言去描繪他所見證的一切,這無疑是對讀者提齣瞭一種要求:你必須全力以赴纔能理解其深意。我甚至在閱讀過程中,習慣性地在旁邊備著筆記本,隨時準備記錄那些振聾發聵的洞察,或者那些令人深思的疑問。這種“鬥智鬥勇”的閱讀體驗,恰恰是我所追求的,因為它迫使我走齣舒適區,去主動建構屬於自己的知識體係。對於那些渴望深度、不滿足於錶麵論述的讀者來說,這本書絕對是一劑猛藥。
评分這本書給我的整體感受是,它不僅僅是在講述“發生瞭什麼”,更是在探索“為什麼會是這樣”以及“我們能從中學習到什麼”。它提供瞭一種極具啓發性的視角,讓我開始重新審視許多我習以為常的概念和既定事實。很多時候,讀完一章,我需要立刻放下書本,走到窗邊,看著外麵的世界,試圖將書中的理論與現實的碎片進行對接和比對。這種強烈的互動感,是很多作品無法給予的。它成功地在宏大的曆史敘事和微觀的個人經曆之間架起瞭一座堅實的橋梁,讓讀者得以穿越時空,親曆那些重要的時刻。總而言之,這是一部具有裏程碑意義的作品,它不僅充實瞭我的知識儲備,更重要的是,它重塑瞭我思考問題的方式。
评分讀完這本書,我感覺自己的認知邊界被極大地拓寬瞭。作者在敘事時展現齣的那種宏大敘事能力,讓人不得不佩服。他似乎能將復雜無比的事件梳理得井井有條,每一個轉摺點都處理得恰到好處,既保持瞭曆史的厚重感,又不失文學作品應有的韻律和張力。更讓我印象深刻的是,他筆下的人物群像塑造得極其立體,那些曾經隻存在於曆史教科書中的名字,此刻仿佛擁有瞭鮮活的血肉和復雜的情感糾葛,讓人不由自主地為他們的抉擇而感到揪心。這種能力,絕非一日之功可得,裏麵蘊含著深厚的洞察力和長期的積纍。我常常需要停下來,閉上眼睛,迴味一下剛纔讀到的那個觀點,因為有些觀點太過精妙,需要時間去消化,去讓它真正融入自己的思維結構中。它不是那種讓你一口氣讀完就扔在一邊的書,更像是需要反復咀嚼的佳肴。
评分Audible版29小時。總的來說比較泛泛,但是聽起來很順暢。Obama執政時期也是對我來說很重要也很印象深刻的時間段,跟著迴憶瞭很多那些年的大事件。文筆挺流暢,也有一些真誠在,所以雖然自我解釋的部分比較刻意,但是不會太讓人反感。
评分文筆很流暢,沒有politician自傳的晦澀。一直有夢想真的是一件值得自豪的事情。 (請評論這本書,而不是針對這本書的作者)
评分花瞭一個月時間,纔把這本書看完。可以說,奧巴馬文筆很好,優雅流暢,讀起來很舒服,No matter what you think about Barack Obama, the man can write! 。關於這本書講瞭奧巴馬很多內容:一步一步的競選之路,次貸危機,醫改,G20峰會,訪華,最後獵殺本拉登。一個在goodreads上的評論很有代錶性:奧巴馬不是一個完美的總統,但是他是唯一一個能把各種矛盾進行良好平衡的總統。
评分Savored every page of it. While reading it, I re-watched all the main speeches he made on his first presidential campaign trail. They still brought tears to my eyes as they did when I was living through those days...
评分讀瞭michelle的becoming前十章,本來以為會有很多重閤部分,結果完全沒有,和michelle的戀愛故事精簡卻充滿瞭真情,非常實在地討論瞭自己作為初生牛犢在政壇的成長,也許是因為作者親自讀的,就像他在我旁邊講述這些anecdotes
