Book Review: The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama
 

In his first book, Dreams from My Father, published in 1995, Barack Obama described his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia and his early adult years serving the poor, mainly black, communities of Chicago. The book ended with a visit to his father's homeland, Kenya. At this stage, Barack Obama was still resolving the issue of his black identity, the 'enough of a cross to bear' as he called it. In this second book, The Audacity of Hope, published in 2006, the resurrected soul is free to explore the universal problems of poverty in whatever colour, race or community they appear. The masses have every reason to doubt the motives of those who bid for high political office but in Barack Obama they found a leader in whom they could place their trust.
