The presidential memoirs of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, will be published in two volumes. The first volume, titled A PROMISED LAND, is scheduled for global release on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, and will be issued simultaneously in 25 languages. In his own words, Barack Obama tells in A PROMISED LAND the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
