| Barack Obama: This Improbable Quest by Paradigm Publishers A Great Book |
| I am 68 years old and I have never been as excited about any politician since John F. Kennedy. This man has integrity . I really enjoyed reading this book. John K. Wilson kept my interest and curiosity. |
| Barack Obama: This Improbable Quest by Paradigm Publishers The other reviewer is a political operative! |
How the University Works: Higher Education and the Low-Wage Nation (Cultural Front)
I know John Wilson, and he's written a powerful, relevant, moving book--one that he demonstrated a great deal of perspicacity in conceiving.
That other reviewer is a political operative who has taken a pseudonym for the purpose of giving all Obama-related books a "one-star" rating and unjustified negative review! |
| Barack Obama: This Improbable Quest by Paradigm Publishers A story that few will be interested in reading... |
| "This Improbable Quest" is an appropriate title for this ill-fated book. The author has attempted to portray Barack Obama as a man with a vision, but has instead ultimately revealed all of Obama's vulnerabilities and weaknesses...ironically through the use of his own words. It is a shame that books like this exist. They are marketed at individuals too weak to see through the layers of hype...and they often eat the bait without even realizing it. This book has no relevance in today's world. As such, in a few months, absolutely no one will be the least bit interested in it. |
| Barack Obama: This Improbable Quest by Paradigm Publishers Product Description |
| Barack Obama is quickly becoming America's most popular politician, and his run for the presidency has brought huge crowds at home and an unprecedented wave of international attention as well. Much more than a biography, this book is a political tour of Obama's legislative experience as well as his ideas about race, religion, and politics. Political writer John K. Wilson, author of four previous books including a study of Newt Gingrich, explores the reaction Obama has received from the left, the right, and the media. As the first presidential candidate from Generation X, Obama has generated an exciting movement of young people to support his campaign as he defines a new kind of broadly popular progressive politics. As improbable as such a quest may be, this fresh new candidate may be just the right one to bridge not only generations but ideologies that often divide. Amid all the hype surrounding Obama, this book provides the first in-depth look at what he believes, what he represents, and how he might transform American politics. |
