本书汇集了美国新任总统奥巴马的60多篇演讲，其中包括今天1月20日发表的就职演说。“Victory Night”是奥巴马经过54轮辩论，最终获得民主党总统提名后在芝加哥发表的演讲；“A World that Stands As One”是奥巴马在柏林面对20万群众发表的演讲，“A More Perfect Union”是关于奥巴马关于种族问题的演讲。另外演讲还涉及教育，医疗，伊拉克战争，妇女参政，退伍军人等问题。这些演讲极为精彩，至今为普通美国人津津乐道。

奥巴马自传《来自父亲的梦想——奥巴马回忆录》的中文版译者发现，奥巴马有很好的语言表达能力，遣词造句也凸现了英语的晓畅优美。他相信奥巴马的成功演讲时那些让人记忆深刻的句子多数是他亲自写就，因为它们的风格、遣词造句与他这本自传的语言都是一致的晓畅优雅。奥巴马不当政治家也是个优秀的作家。
