Synopsis
In a few short years, Barack Obama went from being a relatively unknown freshman senator from Illinois to the successful candidate for the presidency in the 2008 election. His success is sometimes credited to his ability as a public speaker, as evidenced in his stunning keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention. THE AUDACITY OF HOPE follows his best-selling DREAMS FROM MY FATHER, and it offers the visionary pragmatism of his speeches and the candor of his memoir. Each chapter is a developed essay, whether he is discussing partisanship in Washington, the values we have in common, or the importance of the Constitution. He also writes on the positive side of public service, the role that opportunity plays in America's economic health, the enduring dilemma of race, America's place in the world order, and last but not least, how he feels about his family. The personal side comes through in all as he tells anecdotes about the people and experiences that influenced his thought, and as he strives to connect equally to America's founding principles, its rich history, and its future, which he believes in and which he will help shape.

With a vision and a diction that struck a chord in the hearts of mainstream Democrats at the 2004 convention, Senator Barack Obama offers a platform that reconnects with traditional American values while offering a path to the future. Obama begins with a plea for an end to the toxic partisanship which characterizes business-as-usual in Washington, D.C. He appeals across party lines as he addresses issues of concern to all Americans: economic health; racial harmony; security of the homeland. Obama advocates a nationwide consensus that reaffirms the Constitution and a new politics based on those ideals--one that can get things done.

Publisher's Note
The junior U.S. senator from Illinois speaks out to all Americans on how to transform U.S. politics, calling for a return to America's original ideals and revealing how they can be adapted to such controversial issues as globalization, the function of religion in public life, and the struggle to bring people together in a nation torn by differences. 250,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"While exhibiting his leadership attributes, life experiences and personal qualities largely in anecdotal form, this book also displays reasonably wide and thoughtful, if occasionally predictable, responses to domestic controversies and underscores that in his brief time as the junior senator from Illinois, he has been exposed to conflicts in the Middle East, the former Soviet Union and elsewhere."
(12/24/2006)

"True to his roots as a former lecturer in Constitutional law at the University of Chicago, Obama's writing is academic and intellectual enough to further discourse on some of the most complicated policy issues of the day without becoming too didactic and dispassionate. Yet his observations from the halls of Congress to the cornfields of Illinois are full of enough Kennedyesque idealism and enthusiasm that he never loses the common touch."

      Barack Obama's Audacity to Write the Truth
    Review created: 11/22/06(updated 05/04/07)
    55 of 58 people found this review helpful.

    Very rarely are truth-telling books great reads; but, this one is, by the US Junior Senator Barack Obama. Many believe that this Senator would make a good Vice Presidential or Presidential candidate in 2008. If you are one among them, this book will solidify your belief. If you are not convinced that A Junior US Senator or a man of color has got what it takes to be elected to one of those intelligence and conviction requiring offices, then this text should sway you.

    Sen. Obama speaks directly and forthrightly, which in and of itself is refreshing, about his insights into American culture. Pointedly with the acumen of a senior US official, Obama's "Audacity" speaks necessary truths about the US. I nodded in agreement with Sen. Obama throughout his text. He's a good writer who shows he's more of an older wiser man than his physical appearance. I'd call this his 'campaign book'.

      Audacity of Hope
    Review created: 12/04/06
    10 of 14 people found this review helpful.

    I became interested in Barack Obama after seeing him on Meet The Press and wanted to know more about him. At the same time the title of his book caught my attention as hope is hard to find these days.

    Mr. Obama is very articulate and thoughtful in his presentation. He takes you from the campaign trail in Illinois to the US Senate with many down to earth observations along the way. He really makes you feel like he understands the problems of the day, of the people he represents, and these problems relate in the big picture.

    If you hate politics and everything about politics this will be a tough read. This book does go beyond the politics from time to time and the underlying message is worth your time.
