The Audacity of Hope Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream

In 'The Audacity of Hope,' then-Senator Barack Obama outlines his optimistic vision for a different brand of American politics. Expanding on the themes of his celebrated 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote speech, Obama explores the political, social, and cultural forces that have led to deep partisan divisions in the United States. He offers a critique of the 'endless clash of armies' in Washington and calls for a return to the core values found in the U.S. Constitution—principles of empathy, community, and consensus. Throughout the book, he reflects on his own experiences as a senator, a lawyer, and a father, while discussing his personal religious faith and his thoughts on how the country can move past ideological gridlock to address challenges in healthcare, education, and global security.
