Drawing on fresh archival material and five years of extensive access to Carter and his entire family, Alter traces Carter from a timid, bookish child to an obscure, born-again governor whose 1976 campaign took him from zero percent to the presidency. A stubborn outsider who failed politically amid the bad economy of the 1970s, Carter amassed an historic environmental record, set a new global standard for human rights, and normalized relations with China. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 1017-1142). 600 10 $a Carter, Jimmy, $d 1924- 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 655 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print biographies and memoirs. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716031645.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020339.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022424.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210406010622.0 952 $l ZLPD437 $d 20210319132711.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210302015724.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20201229010623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E0D2AA649A311EBB1F76B6759ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
