Renegades
Renegades 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. It is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself.
Praise for Renegades
“Renegades: Born in the USA is human, vulnerable, smart, and passionate. Obama and Springsteen admire their country while considering its shortcomings and still come out the other side with a sense of patriotism and hope that spills over the bounds of a book.”
— Associated Press
“A collection of intimate and thoughtful conversations between the president and the Boss.”
“Do you dream of scoring an invitation to Springsteen’s Colts Neck compound? Maybe strumming on those guitars, riding horses, riffing on the American experiment in the recording studio? Unless you’re an American president, you’re going to have to get in line. But in between daydreams, pick up Renegades. It’s the closest thing to being a fly on the wall of an incredible friendship.”
