Available now on BBC Sounds/Radio 4

Obama reads short extracts from his autobiography, The Promised Land, in 15 minute segments. For free. Why would you not want to listen?

I'm a few chapters into the book itself, and it is an absolute must read for Politics students. If you haven't thought about ordering, maybe this will act as a "stimulus package" (sorry!)?
