Description

President Barack Obama's #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of his childhood and young adult years, a compelling journey through family, race and identity, is now adapted for young people. Includes a new introduction from the author, a new full-colour plate section and a family tree

An American classic, written with grace and precision

Extraordinary . . . It's unique. It's his. There are no other ones like that

Thoughtful, moving and brilliantly written

Obama has written a memoir . . . that evokes the anguish of miscegenation yet culminates in a cry of faith in human community . . . Obama is a born narrator, with a mastery of colour, scene and personality, deftly stirring them into the melting pot of a shared American identity. Rarely has that identity found so vivid a portraitist

A touchstone for future politicians

A well-written account of Obama's struggle to establish his own views on identity and race, and all the more entertaining for its honesty

With its honesty and cool language, and by virtue of having a story worth telling, the book impresses far more than the typical political memoir

Obama is a subtle writer, with an extraordinary breadth of vision

A man with a phenomenal life story

Obama's writing is characterised throughout by a graceful eloquence, a generosity of perception and spirit rare in young men of many gifts and charisma . . . here is a testimony for the ages

Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, elected in November 2008 and holding office for two terms. He is the author of three #1 New York Times bestselling books, Dreams from My Father, The Audacity of Hope and A Promised Land, and is the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife Michelle. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
