nrahai 's review for:
A Promised Land
by Barack Obama
Absolutely incredible. I got chills and teared up countless times throughout. He tells the story of his early political career in the classic Obama eloquence while teaching a pretty good history lesson throughout.
As a high school and college student during his presidency, I remember the big picture events, but “A Promised Land” really gets into the behind the scenes and partisanship that almost derailed so many of the achievements of his presidency. The themes that were emerging way back then, that have taken over our political landscape today. Chills.
I highly recommend everyone read this, maybe more than once. Also recommend you take the 29 hours to listen to him read it himself—truly a “comfort voice” if ever one existed.
