The First Biographical Portrait Ever of This Key Political Figure

Written by a leading journalist and filled with more than 100 color photographs, this authoritative and up-to-the-moment new biography provides much-needed perspective on one of the most important figures on the national political stage.

An lively overview of Obama’s life, this timely book begins with his difficult childhood as the son of a Kansas-born college student and a black Kenyan who abandoned the family, moving through his election to president of the Harvard Law Review (the first black student ever), his early political career (including his loss of a congressional race in 2000), his own family life with wife Michelle and two daughters, his 2004 election to U.S. Senator, and his emergence as a symbol of hope for America. Including his own words and comments from both his critics and supporters, Hopes and Dreams is essential reading for all those interested in the man who is being talked about as a candidate for our highest office.

No political figure in recent memory has generated the interest that Obama has, and many compare his appeal to that of a rock star. Only forty-five years old, Barack Obama is certain to play an important role in America’s future. Here is his inspiring story to date, in words and revealing images.

 

What Customers Say About Hopes and Dreams: The Story of Barack Obama:

He never gave up his hope and vision for a united America and that alone is his charm. I am currently reading "The Audacity of Hope" and ordered this one more as a coffee table book. This book is perfect for those who are short on time but would like to find out more about Obama. In spite of the odds, he never gave up. Whatever people may think of Obama, reading his books and hearing him speak. The pictures are wonderful and the story is just as good.

He is not your typical politician where fighting and the backlashing is the norm. I also ordered this one because my husband who is working 50 hours plus a week and going to school part time doesn't have time to read more on Obama that he would like to. After watching the presidential debates on TV and watching him speak at the Democratic National Convention, not only is he charming, it is evident that he is a hard-working man willing to work with both sides of the aisle to get things done. it is more of an outline than an actual book, but it's inspiring, full of tales, quotes and a lot of it can be found in "The Audacity of Hope," which does go in more details about Obama and his vision for the future. There is also a brief autiobiography about Obama, his struggles as a teenager and as a young adult, campaigning all over the state of Illnois where often there would only be a few people gathered together to hear him speak. He disagrees with that philosophy and for the first time since I can remember, he is the politican that I would love to see more of.This book is just a reflection of that desire and there is an updated version of this book which I am tempted to get for my kids' sake.

he is definitely the man of the times.11/11/08

Hope and dreams belong to the keywords of the new president. This illustrated book is deeply moving.

The author Steve Dougherty has a nose for Obama's typical statements. The biography reflects the life of president-elect Barack Obama by way of pictures, text passages and quotations.

The photo editorial by Hal Buells moves along at eye level with the text passages and quotations.It seems as if author and photographers constantly accompanied Barack Obama. Combining quotations like "Not before you prepare yourself for something bigger than you think you`re capable of, will you recognize your real potential" with fascinating images of a moving life result in an informative illustrated book.

Pictures from his youth, his family life, his college life, his political years of apprenticeship, beginnings of the election campaign until presidency give a good impression of the life of the candidate. It will fill all those with enthusiasm who sympathize with the president-elect.

This biography illustrates how dreams can come true und how to live with hope so that it inspires people worldwide.

This is a great overview of Obama's life. It is short and to the point. It also contains a lot of nice photos.My kids(11&13) and I enjoyed it.

The book is great with good color photos, interesting reading, will make a good addition to my history collection

It's a typical fluff piece--you won't find any meat inside. I purchased this book for a little over $6.00. It's obvious the cost of the book is subsidized by someone--probably the DNC or George Soris. Save your money. It's not even worth $6.00.
