His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life by Jonathan Alter

5.0

A massive biography of the public and private life of Jimmy Carter. This guy. I love him. Deeply flawed but passionate about things that were ahead of his time. Pro civil rights, but fully aware and ashamed he didn’t do enough to stop racism in his back yard. Willing to lose his presidency and the public’s love for peace in the middle east, but completely fumbled Iran. A poet and long distance runner. A portrait of a sinful man on his journey towards sanctification. SO GOOOD.
