A Promised Land by Barack Obama review – memoir of a president Autobiography and memoir Details of historic decision-making amid growing racist resentment feature in this elegant, if restrained, account of life inside the White House Julian Borger Mon 16 Nov 2020 19.01 ESTLast modified on Mon 16 Nov 2020 23.37 EST theguardian.com To read Barack Obama’s autobiography in the last, snarling days of Donald Trump is to stare into an abyss between two opposite ends of humanity, and wonder once again at how the same country came to choose two such disparate men. Somewhere at the top of a long list of contrasts is their grasp of language and facts. On the eve of the book’s publication, Trump has been emitting staccato tweets about winning an election he has decisively lost, a claim formally labelled within 10 minutes as disinformation. At the other end of the scale, Obama’s A Promised Land is 701 pages of elegantly written narrative, contemplation and introspection, in which he frequently burrows down into his own motivations. Obama makes clear he believes the whiplash from the 44th to 45th president is no accident. On the contrary, the mere fact that an accomplished, intelligent, scandal-free black man inhabited the White House was enough to trigger his antithesis. theguardian.com
