The first volume of President Barack Obama’s memoir, dealing with his rise to the White House and his first term in office, will hit stores November 17th, two weeks after the election, Politico reports.
Titled “A Promised Land,” the 768-page book will have an initial run of three million printed copies, said its publisher, Crown, a division of Penguin Random House.
“I’ve spent the last few years reflecting on my presidency, and in ‘A Promised Land’ I’ve tried to provide an honest accounting of my presidential campaign and my time in office: the key events and people who shaped it; my take on what I got right and the mistakes I made; and the political, economic, and cultural forces that my team and I had to confront then — and that as a nation we are grappling with still,” Obama said in a statement Thursday.
No publication date has been set for the second volume.
