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.

读后感

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...

奥巴马的这本回忆录,我简单的翻了翻。很多人看这本回忆录,或许是想了解一些重大事件。但我觉得政治家都是演员,看他们的回忆录了解重大事件,或许只能得到有意无意包装过的加工品。反倒是一些看似不起眼的小细节,让我印象深刻—— 1,奥巴马提到说回忆录他想尽力写的短一些...

作为自传以及自己动机和功绩的阐述,这本书是很成功的。Obama本人文笔极佳,读起来也是专业水准。这本书基本上也成功营造了他所说的让人身临其境、感到身为总统的体验(虽然只是表面上的,但依然氛围优秀,如收尾的本拉登一段)。 更让人意外和惊喜的是,本书最好看的是其实成...

读了michelle的becoming前十章,本来以为会有很多重合部分,结果完全没有,和michelle的恋爱故事精简却充满了真情,非常实在地讨论了自己作为初生牛犊在政坛的成长,也许是因为作者亲自读的,就像他在我旁边讲述这些anecdotes

先后在纽约客和明镜上看到本书ACA和Gaddaffi两段,被其细节跟文笔吸引遂买全书。比如,Obama的理想主义和为政治资本的妥协、他个人面对周围反抗的无力:资本家、共和党势力、种族歧视(如污蔑他的特朗普)、甚至是那些他想帮助的人。大家对本书目的议论纷纷,很多右翼媒体讽刺他的自恋(跟特朗普比起是不可思议的指控)做秀赚钱。这本书中Obama并不掩饰自己的政治野心。虽或许有些煽情片段专来投机取巧为自己过去的软弱辩解,当你真正走进他的内心,你会感受到他的愤怒,bitterness,和同样强烈的乐观。这可能是一个政治家宣传自己,但一定也掺杂着对理想真诚的呐喊悲呼。Chomsky说Obama是导致特朗普的骗子,他背叛了对选民的承诺。他或许应该对Obama更宽容一些:他的确失败了;但他也确实尝试了。

评分

妈哟,每天看一章看了一个月才看完。奥巴马回顾了从竞选到8年任期结束的主要事情,医改、京都议定书、拯救经济危机、访华(这段不错)、G8峰会,最后以猎杀本拉登作为本书结尾。真诚、谦逊、极具领袖魅力。不知道美国人民会不会怀念川普之前的日子。
