Books like The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama


Senator Barack Obama presents a vision of a different kind of politics—one that moves beyond bitter partisanship and the endless clash of armies that plague Congress and the campaign trail. He explores the forces that can undermine good intentions, including the fear of losing, the need to raise money, and the power of the media. Obama also tackles America’s growing economic insecurity, racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and transnational threats such as terrorism and pandemics. He questions the role of faith in a democracy and argues that only by returning to the principles that birthed the Constitution can the nation repair its broken political process and restore government to the service of ordinary Americans.
