Before the White House and Air Force One, before the TV ads and the enormous rallies, there was the real Barack Obama: a man wrestling with the momentous decision to run for the presidency, feeling torn about leaving behind a young family, and figuring out how to win the biggest prize in politics.
This book is the previously untold and epic story of how a political newcomer with no money and an alien name grew into the world’s most powerful leader. But it is also a uniquely intimate portrait of the person behind the iconic posters and the Secret Service code name Renegade.
Drawing on a dozen unplugged interviews with the candidate and president, as well as twenty-one months covering his campaign as it traveled from coast to coast, Richard Wolffe answers the simple yet enduring question about Barack Obama: Who is he?
Based on Wolffe’s unprecedented access to Obama, Renegade reveals the making of a president, both on the campaign trail and before he ran for high office. It explains how the politician who emerged in an extraordinary election learned the personal and political skills to succeed during his youth and early career. With cool self-discipline, calculated risk taking, and simple storytelling, Obama developed the strategies he would need to survive the onslaught of the Clintons and John McCain, and build a multimillion-dollar machine to win a historic contest.
In Renegade , Richard Wolffe shares with us his front-row seat at Obama’s announcement to run for president on a frigid day in Springfield, and his victory speech on a warm night in Chicago. We fly on the candidate’s plane and ride in his bus on an odyssey across a country in crisis; stand next to him at a bar on the night he secures the nomination; and are backstage as he delivers his convention speech to a stadium crowd and a transfixed national audience. From a teacher’s office in Iowa to the Oval Office in Washington, we see and hear Barack Obama with an immediacy and honesty never witnessed before.
Renegade provides not only an account of Obama’s triumphs, but also examines his many personal and political trials. We see Obama wrestling with race and politics, as well as his former pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. We see him struggling with life as a presidential candidate, a campaign that falters for most of its first year, and his reaction to a surprise defeat in the New Hampshire primary. And we see him relying on his personal experience, as well as meticulous polling, to pass the presidential test in foreign and economic affairs.
Renegade is an essential guide to understanding President Barack Obama and his trusted inner circle of aides and friends. It is also a riveting and enlightening first draft of history and political psychology.

《Renegade》这本书给我带来的冲击力是巨大的。它并非那种轻飘飘的消遣读物,而是带着一种沉甸甸的分量,让人在合上书页后,依然会久久不能平静。作者似乎有着洞察人心的能力,将人物内心的挣扎、矛盾和对现实的抗争,描绘得淋漓尽致。我常常在阅读时,会因为角色的某个选择而感到纠结,甚至会开始审视自己的人生。这种引发思考的作品,恰恰是我最渴望获得的。书中并没有提供简单的答案,而是将复杂的问题抛给了读者,让我们自己去寻找意义。这种开放式的结局和深刻的主题,让我觉得这本书的价值远不止于故事本身,它更像是一面镜子,映照出我们内心深处的困惑和渴望。我特别欣赏作者在处理人物关系上的细腻之处,那些微妙的情感互动,那些欲言又止的对话,都充满了张力,让我对接下来的发展充满了期待。总而言之,《Renegade》是一部能够触动灵魂、激发思考的佳作,强烈推荐给所有寻求深度阅读体验的读者。
评分说实话,《Renegade》这本书的独特之处在于它打破了我以往对某种类型小说的固有认知。它不落俗套,不迎合市场,而是以一种非常纯粹的姿态,讲述了一个令人震撼的故事。我能够感受到作者在创作过程中倾注了大量的心血和才华,每一个字、每一个句,都经过了精心的打磨。尤其是在描绘一些极端的情境下,作者的笔触依然保持着冷静和客观,但却能让读者感受到扑面而来的情感冲击。我发现自己在阅读过程中,会不断地被角色的行为所 zasky(惊讶),但这种惊讶并非源于离谱的情节,而是源于角色在绝境中所展现出的复杂人性。这本书让我看到了“不一样”的可能性,它不畏惧挑战常规,敢于探索未知,这种精神本身就足以令人钦佩。我很少会主动去推荐一本书,但《Renegade》绝对是例外,它是一部能够拓宽我们视野、激发我们思考的杰作,我愿意将它视为我的年度必读书籍。
评分这本《Renegade》真是让我欲罢不能!从第一页开始,我就被深深地吸引住了,仿佛进入了一个完全陌生的世界,充满了未知和惊险。作者的文字功底可见一斑,每一个场景的描绘都栩栩如生,让我仿佛置身其中,感受着主角们的心跳和呼吸。情节跌宕起伏,每一次看似平静的转折都隐藏着更大的风暴,让我时刻保持着紧张感,迫不及待地想知道接下来会发生什么。角色的塑造也极其成功,他们不再是扁平的符号,而是有血有肉、有爱有恨的个体,他们的挣扎、选择和成长都让我感同身受。我甚至发现自己在阅读过程中,会不自觉地为他们捏一把汗,或者在他们取得小小的胜利时,也跟着欣喜若狂。这种沉浸式的阅读体验,是很多书都无法给予我的。而且,这本书并没有回避那些复杂的人性弱点,它勇敢地探讨了道德的灰色地带,让人在阅读之余,也能进行深刻的反思。我喜欢这种能够触及灵魂的作品,它不仅仅是娱乐,更是一种精神上的洗礼。我已经迫不及待地想和我的朋友们分享这本书了,我相信他们也会和我一样,被《Renegade》所征服。
评分我得说,《Renegade》这本书的叙事节奏和氛围营造简直是太棒了!作者巧妙地运用了大量的细节描写,将我完全带入了故事的核心。我能清晰地想象出那些阴暗的角落、紧张的对峙,甚至能闻到空气中弥漫的尘土和铁锈味。这种强烈的代入感,让我在阅读过程中完全忘记了周围的一切,只专注于书中的世界。尤其让我印象深刻的是,作者在处理一些关键情节时,并没有选择直接告诉读者,而是通过留白、暗示和角色的微妙反应来引导我们自行揣摩,这种“高手过招”式的叙事方式,极大地增强了阅读的乐趣和智力挑战。每一次解开一个谜团,都会带来一种莫大的满足感。而且,这本书的语言风格也十分独特,既有诗意的抒情,又不乏硬朗的写实,两种风格的完美融合,使得文本呈现出一种别样的魅力。我很少会写书评,但《Renegade》这本书真的触动了我,它让我重新认识到文学作品的力量,能够如此深刻地影响一个人的情绪和思考。
评分《Renegade》这本书的文字,仿佛有一种魔力,能够直接钻进我的脑海,点燃我内心深处的某些东西。我被它那种独特的叙事方式所吸引,它不像传统的线性叙事那样平铺直叙,而是以一种更加碎片化、更加主观的方式,一点一点地拼凑出全貌。这种阅读方式,让我感觉自己更像是一个侦探,在抽丝剥茧,在寻找真相。而且,这本书的语言风格非常迷人,它充满了画面感,仿佛每一句话都像是一幅精心绘制的油画,色彩浓烈,层次分明。我喜欢这种能够用文字唤起强烈视觉冲击的作品。最让我难忘的是,这本书并没有给我一个明确的答案,它留下了太多的可能性,太多的解读空间。这让我感觉自己不仅仅是一个读者,更像是一个共同创作者,在与作者一起完成这个故事。这种互动式的阅读体验,让我觉得《Renegade》不仅仅是一本书,更是一种经历,一种与书中世界的情感共鸣。
