The Unfinished Presidency: Jimmy Carters Quest for Global Peace

...a rich, energetic American story. His account of Carter's behavior during the run-up to the Gulf War is especially fascinating. -- Time, Lance Morrow...a well-sourced and thorough book ... Brinkley's book is an important history of Carter's public life after the White House and will be an invaluable resource for future Carter biographers. It will also ensure that Carter will be judged historically on his full political career, which will not end until his life does. Although it is fascinating in its telling of Carter's public story, The Unfinished Presidency offers limited insight into Carter's personal life and character. It tells what he has done but does not go very far in establishing who he is. -- The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Monica CrowleyHe is excellent ... at bringing to life the elusive personality, sweet yet angular, of Jimmy Carter himself. -- The New York Times Book Review, Godfrey Hodgson
