A Promised Land is the first volume of Barack Obama's presidential memoir, published by Penguin Random House (Crown imprint) on November 17, 2020. In this sweeping account spanning 768 pages, the 44th President of the United States traces his unlikely path from his childhood through his two terms in the White House, culminating with the events surrounding the mission to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.

Obama writes with characteristic candor and depth about the challenges of governing during a period of profound political polarization, the 2008 financial crisis, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and the weight of decisions made in the Oval Office. The memoir blends personal reflection with political history, offering an intimate look at what it means to lead the most powerful nation on earth.

The book was a historic commercial success, selling more than 3.3 million copies in the U.S. and Canada within its first month of publication. It is available in hardcover, paperback, large print, and audiobook formats — the audiobook is narrated by Obama himself. This edition is published by Penguin Random House (PRH).
