Second book written by Barack Obama, and number one on the New York Times' and Amazon's best-seller lists. Obama deals with most of the issues that would later become the central piece of his campaign to win the American Presidency in 2008: the divide between Republicans and Democrats, often considered to be artificial by Obama; what he considers to be the most important American values; his interpretation of the US Constitution; issues of faith, race and opportunity, etc. All in all, the book can be read as a political manifesto of sorts, a summary of the platform Barack Obama would later run on in 2008.
