"Outstanding... An accessible, insightful examination of the Carter presidency by journalist and Princeton history professor Julian E. Zelizer... Not only a lucid overview of Carter's troubled presidency but also an almost photorealistic portrait of the former president." --Christian Science Monitor "Engaging... The most engrossing portion of the work deals with Carter's successes (there were some) and failures as president... For general readers, this work offers a fine analysis of the man and his career." --Booklist "In just 150 pages, Zelizer manages to effectively analyze how Carter's personality has led him to both failure and success." --Kirkus Reviews
