White House Diary by Jimmy Carter
Each day during his presidency, Jimmy Carter made several entries in a private diary. He provided unvarnished assessments of cabinet members, congressmen, and foreign leaders, recording his thoughts, impressions, delights, and frustrations. But this extraordinary document has never been made public - until now. By carefully selecting the most illuminating and relevant entries, Carter has provided us with an astonishingly intimate view of his presidency. Day by day, we see his forceful advocacy for nuclear containment, sustainable energy, human rights, and peace in the Middle East. We witness his interactions with such complex personalities as Teddy Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, Joe Biden, Anwar Sadat, and Menachem Begin. Remarkably, thirty years after the fact, he has annotated the diary with his candid reflections on the people and events that shaped his presidency, and on the many lessons learned. Offering an unprecedented look at both the man and his tenure, this fascinating book will stand as a unique contribution to the history of the American presidency.Jimmy Carter was the 39th President of the United States, author of multiple books, Emory University professor, creator of the Carter Center, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Carter collaborated with Emory University to found the Carter Center, a non-profit organization that promotes human rights and alleviates human suffering in 75 countries throughout the world. Carter is the only U.S. president. After leaving office, President Obama will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
