DELUXE CLOTHBOUND EDITION IN SLIPCASE, SIGNED BY BOTH AUTHORS | Two longtime friends
share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music, and their enduring love of America,
with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly produced expansion of their
groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring all the incredible photographs, bonus
content, and archival material of the original edition
Renegades: Born in the U.S.A. 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. Renegades: Born in the USA 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 providing rich visual context for their conversations
