<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A "New York Times" bestseller, "White House Diary" is the personally annotated diary of President Jimmy Carter--filled with insights into his presidency and his lasting impact on issues that still affect America and the world today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller <p/>Each day during his presidency, Jimmy Carter kept a private diary. In it, he supplied unvarnished assessments of cabinet members, congressmen, and foreign leaders, and narrated the progress of secret negotiations; he recorded his thoughts and his impressions of White House life, and chronicled the delights and the frustrations of occupying the world's most powerful political office. Yet this extraordinary document was never made public--until now. By carefully selecting the most illuminating entries, Carter provides us with an astonishingly intimate view of his presidency. Day by day, we see his forceful advocacy for nuclear containment, and his campaign for peace in the Middle East. Remarkably, thirty years after the fact, he has annotated the diary with candid reflections on the people and events that shaped his presidency, and on the many lessons he learned. Offering an unprecedented look inside both the man and his tenure, <i>White House Diary</i> is a fascinating book that stands as a unique contribution to the history of the American presidency.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fascinating...The pace gives a sense of what it is like to be president, and the entries contain blunt appraisals of the people with whom he dealt." --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Outstanding...Anyone seeking insight into the thirty-ninth president of the United States would do well to pick up [this] book." --<i>The Christian Science Monitor</i> <p/>"A substantial contribution to [history]... a uniquely unfiltered look at what occupying the Oval Office day to day means." --<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"[Carter's] tart wit and cutting candor add flavor to a revealing portrait of presidential achievement." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>JIMMY CARTER</b>, our thirty-ninth president, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
