From one of America’s most-respected journalists and modern historians comes the first full-length biography of Jimmy Carter, the thirty-ninth president of the United States and Nobel Prize–winning humanitarian. Jonathan Alter tells the epic story of an enigmatic man of faith and his improbable journey from barefoot boy to global icon. Alter paints an intimate and surprising portrait of the only president since Thomas Jefferson who can fairly be called a Renaissance Man, a complex figure—ridiculed and later revered—with a piercing intelligence, prickly intensity, and biting wit beneath the patented smile. Here is a moral exemplar for our times, a flawed but underrated president of decency and vision who was committed to telling the truth to the American people. Growing up in one of the meanest counties in the Jim Crow South, Carter is the only American president who essentially lived in three centuries: his early life on the farm in the 1920s without electricity or running water might as well have been in the nineteenth; his presidency put him at the center of major events in the twentieth; and his efforts on conflict resolution and global health set him on the cutting edge of the challenges of the twenty-first. Drawing on fresh archival material and five years of extensive access to Carter and his entire family, Alter traces how he evolved from a timid, bookish child—raised mostly by a black woman farmhand—into an ambitious naval nuclear engineer writing passionate, never-before-published love letters from sea to his wife and full partner, Rosalynn; a peanut farmer and civic leader whose guilt over staying silent during the civil rights movement and not confronting the white terrorism around him helped power his quest for racial justice at home and abroad; an obscure, born-again governor whose brilliant 1976 campaign demolished the racist wing of the Democratic Party and took him from zero percent to the presidency; a stubborn outsider who failed politically amid the bad economy of the 1970s and the seizure of American hostages in Iran but succeeded in engineering peace between Israel and Egypt, amassing a historic environmental record, moving the government from tokenism to diversity, setting a new global standard for human rights, and normalizing relations with China among other unheralded and far-sighted achievements. After leaving office, Carter eradicated diseases, built houses for the poor, and taught Sunday school into his mid-nineties. This engrossing, monumental biography will change our understanding of perhaps the most misunderstood president in American history.

A popular analysis has emerged, even among some people who admire Carter. "He's an admirable man and certainly had the best post-presidency ever, but he a) was too much of a micromanager, b) brought small timers and a chip on his shoulder to Washington and couldn't get much done, and/or c) was a weak and ineffectual president who was over-matched by the events of the day.Alter's brilliant biography shows how far off the mark this analysis is. Carter was dead serious and a tough cookie. I worked on Capitol Hill throughout his entire term and, like most smart-a** young staffers, I had this idea that "we'll show these Georgians how to do business in the big city." Grudgingly, over the course of his term, we came to a recognition that he had a first rate staff and was doing a good job.As Alter's book demonstrates, Carter had at least three triumphs in foreign affairs, any one of which any president before or after would have considered an adornment to his administration. Most obvious, achieving the first and only lasting peace in the Middle East. Israel had had four wars with Egypts and other neighbors in the previous 30 years and none in the 42 since. And that was almost entirely a result of his personal effort. Maybe more impressive was the Panama canal treaty, which spared us untold grief in Latin America. Negotiating the treaty was a proud accomplishment, but getting it through the Senate -- the smart money said "dead on arrival" -- was a lifetime accomplishment. Finally, Carter's focus on human rights set a counterpoint to the realpolitick "sure he's an SOB, but he's our SOB" brand of foreign policy and put us on the right side of history.The book also chronicles Carter's early years and his admirable life since. It is an outstanding portrait of a president whose reputation is going to grow over the coming years.
