Historia
This book is the compelling story of President Obama’s domestic policy decisions made between September 2008 and his inauguration on January 20, 2009. Unlike all other presidents except Abraham Lincoln - who decided not to allow slavery to expand westward before he was sworn in - Barack Obama determined the fate of his presidency before he took office. The results of these fateful decisions led to Donald Trump taking his place eight years later. This book describes how and why these decisions were made, and discusses whether the outcomes could have been different.

This is a five star book; listen when you can concentrate

This book was invaluable for increasing my understanding of the Obama administration. The author is well-reasoned and compelling. I’m glad he wrote this book. I, too, never want such a crisis to be wasted. I want politicians to read this. Sometimes you just have to think bigger.
It might be better read this in book format, however. It’s sufficiently detailed to to be difficult to understand in one pass (at least for me). This was particularly true in the middle chapters on the development of the Obama stimulus package, less so in the beginning and end. I usually only listened to this when I could focus exclusively on it.
It’s not the narrator’s fault, btw. He sounds wise, reasonable, worldly and with just the right impression of dry wit. I though he was great choice for this. It’s just dense subject matter.

Historia
More than 3,000 years have passed since the first events recorded in Dune. Only one link survives with those tumultuous times: the grotesque figure of Leto Atreides, son of the prophet Paul Muad'Dib, and now the virtually immortal God Emperor of Dune. He alone understands the future, and he knows with a terrible certainty that the evolution of his race is at an end unless he can breed new qualities into his species.

I’d skip it

I liked it better than Dune Messiah. That’s not saying much, but it’s the only praise I have to give this book.
