Former US President Barack Obama has announced the release date of his memoir ‘A Promised Land’. The first volume of it will hit the shelves on November 17, i.e. just two weeks after the presidential election. 

“There’s no feeling like finishing a book, and I’m proud of this one,” Obama said in a tweet on Thursday. 

“In A Promised Land, I try to provide an honest accounting of my presidency,” he added.

The 768-page memoir will be simultaneously issued in 25 languages, according to publisher Penguin Random House.

In his book, the former president has written about the response to the 2008 global financial crisis, his healthcare reform legislation known as the Affordable Care Act or ‘Obamacare’, and the 2011 strike in Pakistan to kill al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Obama was in 2008 elected as the first black president of the US. He served for two terms from 2009-16.

Obama has already penned three books — ‘Dreams From My Father’, ‘The Audacity of Hope’ and the children’s book ‘Of Thee I Sing’.

His wife and the former First Lady Michelle Obama released her memoir ‘Becoming’ in 2018.  Over 10 million copies of the book were sold within five months of its hitting the stands.
