A review by adellama_05
A Promised Land by Barack Obama

4.0

Tells a responsible coverage of the world's events from 2008 to 2012 in President Obama's first term. It's funny and emotional where it should be. Gives a layperson (me) a great (I felt so) introduction to the functioning of the US federal government administration as you see it being run. Things that happen in this book include: handling the 2008 financial crisis, passing the Affordable Care Act, starting to withdraw from Iraq and expand operations in Afghanistan and other good stuff.
