Barack Obama was elected President of the United States on November 4 , 2008 . He is the author of one previous book , the New York Times bestseller Dreams from My Father .
Nine years before the Senate campaign that made him one of the most influential and compelling voices in American politics , Barack Obama published this lyrical , unsentimental , and powerfully affecting memoir , which became a 1# New York Times bestseller when it was reissued in 2004 . Dreams from My Father tells the story of Obama ' s struggle to understand the forces that shaped him as the son of black African father and a white American mother - a struggle that takes him from the American heartland to the ancestral home of his great - aunt in the tiny African village of Alego .
The Audacity Of Hope is Barack Obama ' s call for a new kind of politics - a politics that builds upon those shared understanding that pull us together as Americans . Lucid in his vision of American ' s place in the world , refreshingly candid about his family life and his time in the senate , Obama here sets out his political convictions and inspires us to trust in the dogged optimism that has long defined us and that is our best hope going forward .
" Barack Obama is the rare politician who can actually write - and write movingly and and genuinely about himself . "
- The New York Times .
" Obama writes convincingly about race as well as the lofly place the Constitution holds in American life ...... . He writes tenderly about family and knowingly about faith . "
