Description



About the Book



"Interest in Jimmy Carter has been renewed in the wake of his recent meeting with Joe Biden, and the perceived success of his post-presidential career. This much needed fresh interpretation of Carter's troubled presidency challenges misconceptions about his leadership by examining how he won the presidency, the faith and ideologies that shaped his character, and his key domestic policies on the economy, civil rights, and energy."--



Book Synopsis



This fresh examination of Carter's presidency (1977-1981), the first in over twenty years, sheds new light on his time in office, reflecting on his domestic record, his key policies on the economy, civil rights, and energy, and challenging misconceptions about his character and leadership.

The success of Jimmy Carter's post-presidential career and the scandals of his successors, have begun to generate a nostalgic view of Carter's time in the White House. This book looks at his presidency during a time of ideological conflict in the US political landscape, between liberalism and rising conservatism, embodied respectively by Kennedy and Reagan, Carter's efforts to hold the centre or non-ideological, moral position, and the impact of his character, particularly his faith, on how he exercised power in Washington. In doing so, it reveals new interpretations of his leadership style, and its impact on his time in office.



Review Quotes




"A very well-researched and shrewd assessment of Jimmy Carter's presidential leadership that offers insightful analysis of why he fell short on his domestic agenda and opened the way for Ronald Reagan's conservative succession." --Iwan Morgan, University College London, UK

"Green has produced an insightful and highly cogent account of President Carter's domestic policy making. The study is grounded in highly conscientious archival research. It offers a persuasive conribution to our understanding of a frequently misunderstood presidency." --John Dumbrell, Durham University, UK
