What Are The Books Written By Barack Obama?

He's written just two, so far, with another full of his quotes and two more planned to be released soon.  

Dreams from My Father was published in 1995.  It's an autobiography of Obama's life from his birth (1961) to the early 1990s.

Obama was given his father's surname, but his parent's marriage dissolved when he was only two years old.  After that Obama was raised mostly by his mother, living in Jakarta with her second husband, until he was ten years old.  After that he was raised in Kansas by his mother's grandparents.

In Kansas Obama says he first encountered racism.  He also met his biological father for the first and only time since toddler-hood.  The book goes on to detail his student life at Harvard University, and his efforts to find out about his Kenyan origins.  Dreams from My Father was recently re-released, and Obama is acclaimed for the candor and sincerity it evinces.

About 4 years ago Obama signed a contract with the publishers Random House to write three more books.  The first, Audacity of Hope is mostly about Obama's philosophy; it's a warm up to sell himself to the American people.  The also incorporates a lot in it about the current state of things for most Americans, and potential for future success and happiness.

Supposedly Obama and his wife are co-writing a children's version of his autobiography, with proceeds going to children's charity.  The other contracted book (for Random House) will be for adults, with no specific topic covered yet... buy my money is that it will be an account of the race to become democratic nominee for president.

Obama has released yet another book, Barack Obama: In His Own Words  , with publishers Barnes & Noble.  This book is full of his speeches, quotes and anecdotes, complied by Lisa Rogak.
