What common ground can a former American president and a rock star share? How can their traumatic childhood memories bring them closer together? How similar were their youthful nightmares, and how did they manage to overcome them? Is it possible to emerge better from a painful emotional situation, to exorcise one's personal demons, and to excel?

And ultimately, how important is it to share with others what has hurt you and indelibly marked your life? Answers to the above questions, and indeed some very interesting ones, are provided by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen through a series of their personal conversations that were originally recorded as a podcast and are now captured on paper.

The “Renegades: Born in the USA” by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen is much more than a common book. It is a stunning confession from two significant but different personalities and a deeply psychoanalytical verbal communication between two friends who, each in their own way, have left their mark on the recent history of their country.

Above all, however, they are two men, two American citizens who carry the psychological burdens of their not-so-easy past and are concerned about the uncertain future of their homeland. RENEGADES - BORN IN THE USA is a luxurious hardcover edition (COFFEE TABLE BOOK), which, in addition to the fascinating discussion between the two friends, includes previously unreleased lyrics by Bruce, handwritten speeches by Barack Obama, and dozens of collectible photographs.

The translation of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics into Greek was done by the great Greek songwriter Nikos Portokaloglou!
