Released in October 2008, this collection marks the first time that all of Barack Obama’s fundamental speeches on his road to the Presidency have been printed together. David Olive, business and political columnist with The Toronto Star, sprinkles little known facts and anecdotes about Obama throughout the text.

Olive also tackles controversial remarks by Reverend Jeremiah Wright and other conflicts that arose during the Obama campaign. Many have compared the speeches of Barack Obama to those of JFK or Martin Luther King, and this volume gives the reader a chance to see why.
