When Jimmy Carter ran for office in 1976, the nation was still struggling to process the Vietnam War and Watergate. Questionable presidential decisions prolonged a quagmire in Asia, Richard Nixon's illegal surveillance broke the people's trust, and Gerald Ford's subsequent pardon of Nixon irrevocably sullied his relationship with the American people. Jimmy Carter sought to be the transparent, trustworthy leader that the nation demanded. Based on archival research and government documents, this book explores the steps Carter took during his presidency and how Congress reacted to them. Though Carter was not elected for a second term, this detailed history makes the case that his legacy has been misrepresented, and that he should not be remembered as a failed president, but as a man who restored dignity to an office burdened by controversy."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Carter, Jimmy, $d 1924- 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1977-1981. 650 0 $a Political leadership $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103020723.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54A36A768E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
