Kurzbeschreibung
Barack Obama, the young black Democratic Senator for Illinois, is the rising star of American politics: the man who has emerged as the symbol of hope for America, a candidate for the next Presidential election raising the possibility of the first black U.S. President...Obama's own books (a memoir and a policy book) have figured highly on the "New York Times" bestsellers lists, but this is the first biographic portrait of the man, written by a leading journalist and filled with more than 150 lively photographs.

Das Buch wirkt eher schnell und lieblos zusammengestellt, um von der aktuellen Obama-mania profitieren zu können. Die enthaltenen Informationen sind allesamt bekannt und auch bei Wikipedia nachzulesen.

Wonderful book
6. September 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
It is more of an outline than a fully fleshed out view of Senator Obama, but very well written. The photos are fantastic, also. I would suggest delving deeper after reading this by purchasing the 'Audacity of Hope', which really shows the depths of this man's knowledge on not only political but social complexities that have shaped his life and helped mold him into one of the most amazing candidates of a generation.

A good intro to Barack Obama.
1. März 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
My first impression of the book was that it would have great photos and little substance.
I was correct about the photos,wrong about the rest.
"Hopes and Dreams" is an overview of Barack Obama's life covering his childhood as a bi-racial child,his search for information about his father and how that affected him. His decision to pass up a Wall Street career and opting to take a lower-paying job training as a grassroots organizer in Chicago. It also covers his journey through politics and eventual decision to run for president.
His mistakes regarding drugs is discussed as well as his middle name.
Here are a few quotes from the book:
"He is a voice of strength and moderation,an American success story."-John McCain page 46.
"We must understand that the might of our military has to be matched by the strength of our diplomacy."-Barack Obama page 107.
This book is what I call a "coffee table book". Loaded with photos and enough information to serve as an introduction to Barack Obama. I recommend "Audacity of Hope" also.

An Overview of the Obama Phenomenon
9. März 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Good for those who want a quick look. Sentences are long, clause-filled, and difficult to follow.
