  Get to Know the World's Most Powerful Man

  Now that he is officially in the job Barack Obama is the most important leader in the Western world. He also embodies the greatest political change America has seen since 1776. This autobiography is at once honest, insightful and gripping. A must read.

  Presidential read

  Forgetting for a moment who wrote this book; this is an engaging, thoughtful, intelligent read. This is a real meditation on race and specifically, on what it means to grow up and search for one's racial identity in modern America. This is a hard book to put away, read this for the beauty of its writing, but above all, read it, you won't be disappointed.

  Dreams from my father

  This book is made all the more interesting by Barack Obama's subsequent rise to the white house, it was published originally a good few years ago now, and reading this book shows America could not have made more of a u-turn on its presidential choice from George W Bush. He writes extremely well and incredibly sensitively about his own life and family and the subject of race as life has presented it to him. I would recommend this book to anyone, even those with no interest in politics whatsoever.
