Kamala's Way

De: Dan Morain

Narrado por: Soneela Nankani

Times book of the week

'Dan Morain is a fair-minded biographer with enough access — he is a veteran journalist who has worked for the Los Angeles Times and The Sacramento Bee — to make this more than a cuttings job. The Kamala Harris who emerges from these pages is accomplished and politically savvy, perhaps to a fault.' The Times

A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to be elected Vice President of the United States.

In Kamala’s Way, longtime Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain charts how the daughter of two immigrants born in segregated California became one of this country’s most effective power players. He takes listeners through Harris’s years in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, explores her audacious embrace of the little-known Barack Obama, and shows the sharp elbows she deployed to make it to the US Senate. He analyses her failure as a presidential candidate and the behind-the-scenes campaign she waged to land the Vice President spot. And along the way, Morain paints a vivid picture of her family, values and priorities, as well as the missteps, risks and bold moves she’s made on her way to the top.

Kamala’s Way is a comprehensive account of the Vice President-Elect and her history-making career.

'This story about how she ran the gauntlet of American politics will leave readers admiring Harris for how she has not only survived but thrived' The Washington Post

'All her life, Harris has made a habit of exceeding expectations. This book suggests she will do that again as vice-president – and that one day she might also excel as America’s first woman, first Indian and second Black president.​' The Guardian

'Meticulously reported' USA Today

Very comprehensive

I was glad to hear that positive as well as the negative information and aspects of her life and career

Not what I was expecting, but…

A fair and balanced perspective but I was hoping for a more meaty read. Definitely felt factual, historical and balanced, it was a challenging listen with all the names and dates presented in a very textbook manner. It built to an interesting enough read considering it is now right before a hopefully historical and monumental election.

Politically Neutral

A balanced presentation of Kamala Harris' life and politics. I feel like I understand her and am able to form a more informed decision about her as a candidate after reading this book . That said, it very dry and gets boring in spots. Overall, a decent read.

Background for Our Next President

If you are going to vote for Kamala Harris, you should read this book and know what you were voting for.

Boring. Is this a robot narrator?

Learned a bit
But definitely a shallow overall look
Would have liked more details. Boo
