Raised on a peanut farm in rural Georgia, Jimmy Carter didn't expect to get involved in politics. He joined the US Navy after high school and intended to have a military career. But everything changed after his father died in 1953. Carter left his life in the Navy to return to Plains, Georgia. While working on the family farm there, he got involved in local political issues, including school integration. Little did he know that his small-town activism would lead him to the White House. Carter was inaugurated as the 39th US president in 1977. As president, he helped establish the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Education, and he negotiated a landmark peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. Although his presidency ended after one term, Carter never stopped fighting for the causes he believed in. Learn about Carter's humble beginnings, political career, and advocacy work after his presidency.

Now, in this remarkable memoir, he brings Carter to life as never before. Behind the Georgian's famous smile we discover a complex politician who was variously inspiring and petty, naïve and calculating, stubborn and elusive, humble and proud, sardonic and compassionate, and ultimately an enigma even to those closest to him.Rarely if ever has a skilled novelist and journalist had such access to a future president, then chosen to write about him with such relentless honesty. Electing Jimmy Carter is the most revealing portrait of Carter yet to appear, and it is also one of the funniest, most perceptive accounts of an American presidential campaign ever written.The cast of characters includes not only Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, and top aides Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell, but such supporting actors as Warren Beatty, Norman Mailer, Jerry Brown, Bella Abzug, Hugh Hefner, Sam Donaldson, Walter Mondale, and Billy Carter. Fast paced and dramatic, Electing Jimmy Carter reads like a novel, but one that happens to be true.

When Jimmy Carter (b. 1924) lost the presidency in 1980, it would have been reasonable to think his public life was coming to an end. The moderate, evangelical, blue-jeans-wearing peanut farmer made an unlikely governor of Georgia, and an even less likely winner of the vicious 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. Coming into an era of American politics where evangelical and rural voters became increasingly identified with the Reagan revolution, and the Democratic Party’s identity became increasingly secular and urban by attrition, he did not fit neatly into the political categories of the emerging decade. But it was not politics that would define President Carter in the end: it would be his humble Christian faith and his enduring commitment to the poor, to peace, and to human rights.In Conversations with Jimmy Carter, eleven interviews, drawn from Carter’s five decades as a national public figure, capture the complexities and contradictions that have defined him—and that have helped to both reflect and shape the highest aspirations of the American experiment.

Jimmy Carter’s expansive body of writing ranges across the genres of memoir, commentary, children’s literature, poetry, and a novel about the Revolutionary War. Editors Mark I. West and Frye Gaillard have assembled a group of award-winning journalists, poets, historians, and literary scholars to reflect on this substantial – and to some, unexpected – dimension of Carter’s legacy. Collectively, these essays, including several by the editors themselves, document a through-line of ethical integrity, perspective, and insight that runs through Carter’s writing – from his controversial trilogy on peace in the Middle East to his personal reflections on his Georgia boyhood. Carter never used a ghost writer. As a result, his distinct voice and point of view comes through in every book that he published.

America's unstoppable former president Jimmy Carter will mark his 98th birthday this year. To celebrate this milestone, distinguished commentator and political speechwriter Arthur Milnes has assembled 98 of Carter's accomplishments in his 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter. These range from the well-known-forging peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David, building homes with Habitat for Humanity-to the lesser known: establishing today's American craft brewing industry and helping create a new and environmentally friendly line of guitars. Famed actor Dan Aykroyd, who portrayed the 39th president on Saturday Night Live, is already praising 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter. "Jimmy Carter served only one term as president, swept out of office by the 'silent majority, ' whom even the fumes of Watergate could not alienate from their beloved Republican archetypes," he writes. "He is perceived (today) as not only an accomplished president but also as a supreme human being whose post-presidency has had massive worldwide positive impact. There are many things to thank Jimmy Carter for: his decency, compassion, ethical humanism, honesty, and integrity. Here are 98 more." Perceptive, witty, and thoroughly researched, 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter is already earning praise from citizens and scholars alike. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
