Subtitled Jimmy Carter's Journey Beyond the White House, Brinkley details how Jimmy Carter, unlike most ex-presidents, has done more since leaving the White House in 1980 than most people do in a lifetime.
Jimmy Carter's reputation as a global peacemaker continues to grow, but no one has ever documented just how he does it-until now. Award-winning historian Douglas Brinkley has had unique and intimate access to the former President. He has traveled with him to meet Simon Peres in Israel and Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti, spent hours interviewing him at home in Georgia, and has been allowed exclusive access to the post-presidential papers. A surprising biography for friends-and enemies-of Carter alike.
