image His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life | Featured Nonfiction Review
By LJ

"Alter also doesn’t shy away from the complexities of the president’s life, including his reluctance to support civil rights publicly for fear it would hurt his career. Insight is also given to his record on domestic policies as Georgia senator (1963–67) and governor (1971–75), and his time in the White House (1976–80) with the Camp David Accords. Through it all, Alter maintains, Carter relied on faith and family. This thorough account of a remarkable life will have wide appeal."
