Excerpts

Jimmy Carter's presidency is often remembered as being marred by a struggling economy, an alienated Congress, and escalating tension with the Soviet Union. However, Carter engineered the Panama Canal treaties, diplomacy with China, environmentally protective legislation, and the historic Camp David Accord. Today, he continues to redefine the role of former president.
