Barack Obama convida os leitores a embarcar numa viagem emocionante, desde as suas primeiras aspirações políticas à decisiva vitória na convenção do Iowa até à noite que marcou o ponto de viragem na História, o 4 de Novembro de 2008, quando foi eleito o 44.º presidente dos Estados Unidos da América e se tornou o primeiro afro americano a assumir o cargo mais importante do país.
Reflectindo sobre a presidência, Obama explora de forma singular e ponderada o tremendo alcance dos poderes presidenciais, bem como os seus limites, e oferece nos um ponto de vista privilegiado sobre a dinâmica partidária americana e a diplomacia internacional. Transporta os leitores para o interior da Sala Oval e da Sala de Crise da Casa Branca, para Moscovo, Cairo, Pequim, e leva os ainda mais longe. Privamos
dos seus pensamentos enquanto constitui o seu gabinete, luta contra uma crise financeira global, tira as medidas a Vladimir Putin, supera obstáculos aparentemente inultrapassáveis para assegurar a aprovação da lei de acesso geral a cuidados de saúde ( Affordable Care Act ), entra em rota de colisão com os generais acerca da estratégia dos EUA para o Afeganistão, lida com a reforma de Wall Street, reage à devastadora crise provocada pela explosão da plataforma petrolífera Deepwater Horizon e dá luz verde à Operação Lança de Neptuno, que culminou com a morte de Osama bin Laden.
UMA TERRA PROMETIDA é uma obra extraordinariamente íntima e introspectiva a história do compromisso de um homem com a História, da fé de um líder comunitário posto à prova no palco mundial. Obama é franco quando fala sobre o exigente equilíbrio de se candidatar à presidência como americano negro, carregando as expectativas de toda uma geração inspirada por mensagens de “esperança e mudança”, e, ao mesmo tempo, cumprir os desafios morais da tomada de decisões ao mais alto nível.
É honesto sobre as forças que lhe fizeram oposição, no seu país e no estrangeiro, é sincero sobre como a vida na Casa Branca afectou a sua mulher e as suas filhas e não tem receio de revelar as suas dúvidas e desilusões.
Contudo, nunca vacila na sua convicção de que na grande missão americana, ainda em curso, o progresso é sempre possível. Este livro, maravilhosamente escrito e poderoso, expressa a convicção de Barack Obama de que a democracia não é uma dávida caída do céu mas uma conquista alicerçada na empatia e na compreensão mútua, construída em conjunto dia após dia.… (mais)
