AN AMERICAN STORY: THE SPEECHES OF BARACK OBAMA-A PRIMER

Book ID/图书代码： 00110908B21950

English Summary/英文概要： In this unique collection of the eloquent speeches that helped propel Obama¹s unlikely rise, the potential future U.S. president details his plans for economic renewal and reforms in education, health care, education, energy self-sufficiency, foreign policy and other realms.

What¹s the point of trying to become president if you¹re not determined to be a great president? Obama once confided to a friend.

You¹ll find in this volume not only 20 of Obama¹s most celebrated speeches, annotated and unabridged, but profiles of Obama and his wife, Michelle; a complete chronology of Obama¹s life; and a thorough examination of how Obama¹s policies compare with those of his presidential rival, John McCain. Learn how the man who electrified the Democratic National Convention in 2004 with a rousing call to national unity hopes to bring a more open, inclusive approach to American politics, and re-engage his country in the global challenges of terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change and the energy crisis.
