The Audacity of HopeThe Audacity of Hope

Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of our improbable experiment in democracy. He explores those forces that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. At the heart of this book is the author's vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. Underlying his stories about family, friends, members of the Senate, even the president, is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.
