A review by acpregler
A Promised Land by Barack Obama
5.0
As someone who grew politically awoken during Obama’s presidential campaign (my first ever political job was an Obama for America volunteer in PA), this book is as much nostalgia as it is the story of political Obama. Additionally, during this time I was incredibly active in high school debate and spent years reading about the things he delivers candid and straightforward commentary on.
That said, if none of that sounds interesting, this book won’t be for you. While Obama provides his trademark verbosity and color in setting scenes, the book is a political adventure broken up with the occasional familial or philosophical tangent.
