A review by bexlrose
A Promised Land by Barack Obama

5.0

I love this man so much, I wish he could come and run the UK. Read this book, it will make you understand so much more about the last decade. It also gives an insight into the rise of Trump and how much the media are to blame. We need to stop clicking on articles about hateful people because it gives them a platform, us all laughing at Trump before he became president contributed to his becoming president.

Obama comes across as kind, sensitive, decent, intelligent and humble in this account of his first term in office, and the book explains a lot about why some decisions had to be made and why some comrpomises were reached. I really think it's one for everyone with any sort of interest in politics or America.
