President Jimmy Carter proves dedicated people can create lasting change – in small towns and globally.
Recommendation
Jimmy Carter’s time as 39th president of the United States, from 1977-1981, was a powerful, brief episode in a life of challenges and rewards. Carter comes across as an intelligent, accomplished, good-hearted man who puts actions behind his commitments to human rights, to making the world healthier and more peaceful, to his faith, to his love of learning and to being an engaged leader. Carter, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, reflects on how he ascended the political ladder, including his achievements and problems in office, his work with The Carter Center and ongoing issues that remain priorities for him in his 90s. In light of today’s events, Americans and global citizens are likely to find his tone, perspective and insights compelling. Carter’s poetry and artwork add personality. His text is remarkably concise, given its broad scope, and may lead readers to Carter’s other books. This memoir shows how one person can create lasting change.
