Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In is a book byU.S. Senator fromVermontBernie Sanders, published byThomas Dunne Books in November 2016.[1]
It was released on November 15, 2016, a week after the election ofDonald Trump. The book was written in the context ofSanders's 2016 presidential campaign and aimed to explain some of its rationale.
In the book, Sanders sets out his position on climate change, free college tuition, income inequality, closing thegender wage gap and defeatingDonald Trump while campaigning forHillary Clinton during the last three months leading to the2016 presidential election.[2]
Sanders discusses how hispresidential campaign was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a "fringe" campaign and something not to be taken seriously.[2] He discusses his initial struggle as being an "Independent senator from a small state with little name recognition".
Upon its release, it was onThe New York Times Best Seller list at number 3.[3]
John R. Coyne Jr. gave the memoir a positive review forThe Washington Times saying that "For starters, it tells us who this man who energized so many young people really is—an enthusiastic young socialist trapped in an old curmudgeon's body, his ideas basically just as fresh to him today as when he left his native Brooklyn".[4]
David Weigel ofThe Denver Post said that the memoir was "like a sitcom character who gets beaned on the head and hallucinates an angel—or a talking dog, or a 75-year-old senator from Vermont—spinning lessons about what really matters in life".[5]
Sanders andMark Ruffalo were nominated for theGrammy Award forBest Spoken Word Album.[6]
In his book, published on Nov. 15 [2016] by Thomas Dunne Books, he [Bernie Sanders] cites an early experience with 'the nature of the media's political coverage,' recounting the time Vermont news outlets focused their attention on a candidate for state representative who skied around the state to meet voters, downplaying the actual issues affecting voters.
