Renegades

“Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to our country’s polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-color photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders—one Black and one white—looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself. It includes:

• Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen

• Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions

• Obama’s never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his “Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches”

• Springsteen’s handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career

• Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors’ personal archives

• Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation”
