Hopes and Dreams, The Story of Barack Obama\Präsident Barack Obama, Der Friedensnobelpreisträger, englische Ausgabe
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, and is now being touted as a
candidate for the next Presidential election raising the
possibility of the first black U.S. President. .Obamas 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 100
lively photographs. It provides an overview of Obamas life up to
the current time: childhood; Harvard Law School; civil rights
lawyer; early political career; symbol of hope; keynote speech at
the 2004 Democratic convention; family life; issues; vision;
speeches; and quotations. It explores Obamamania the whole buzz
about him, the comparisons with Bobby Kennedy, the turning of
American politics and his running for President. No political
figure on the American scene has generated as much interest as
Obama has, and many compare his appeal to that of a rock star.
