Barack Obama: The Road from Moneygall, Steve MacDonogh

This is a unique exploration of the president's Irish ancestral origins. In his presidential election acceptance speech, Barack Obama evoked a story of great change in America, and an America made up of many strands. In this book it is the strand of his own Irish background and ancestry that tells a story of emigration to escape hunger and of the struggle to build new lives in the land of opportunity.
