Non-Fiction Biography
Jimmy Carter left the White House in January 1981, defeated
in his bid for reelection and rejected by the American
public--but hardly broken. Outside the Oval Office, with a
commitment rarely seen in an ex-president, he was more
determined than ever to complete his life's mission: the
achievement of world peace. With unique access to the Carter archives and to the man
himself, award-winning historian Douglas Brinkley brings us
this unprecedented biography of the former President. Here
are penetrating observations of Carter's complex
relationships with such world figures as Mikhail Gorbachev,
Deng Xiaoping, Margaret Thatcher, Fidel Castro, and Yasir
Arafat, as well as his associations with the presidents who
have succeeded him. Brinkley also reassesses the
achievements of Carter's underrated White House tenure--the
Camp David accords, Panama Canal treaties, and his
championing of human rights. The Unfinished Presidency is
the definitive portrait of this formidable world statesman.
