Description

In his major New York Times bestseller, Jimmy Carter looks back from ninety years of age and “reveals private thoughts and recollections over an interesting career as businessman, politician, evangelist, and humanitarian” (Booklist).

At ninety, Jimmy Carter reflects on his private and non-private life with a frankness that may be disarming. He adds detail and emotion about his youth in rural Georgia that he described in his magnificent An Hour Before Daylight. He writes about racism and the isolation of the Carters. He describes the brutality of the hazing regimen at Annapolis, and how he nearly lost his life twice serving on submarines and his amazing interview with Admiral Rickover. He describes the profound influence his mother had on him, and how he admired his father even if he didn’t emulate him. He admits that he made up our minds to quit the Navy and later enter politics without consulting his wife, Rosalynn, and how appalled He’s in retrospect.

In his “warm and detailed memoir” (Los Angeles Times), Carter tells what He’s proud of and what he might do in a different way. He discusses his be apologetic about at losing his re-election, but how he and Rosalynn pushed on and made a new life and second and third rewarding careers. He’s frank about the presidents who have succeeded him, world leaders, and his passions for the causes he cares most about, particularly the condition of women and the deprived people of the developing world.

“All the time warm and human…even inspirational” (Buffalo News), A Full Life is a wise and moving look back from this remarkable man. Jimmy Carter has lived one of our great American lives—from rural obscurity to world fame, universal respect, and contentment. A Full Life is an bizarre read from a “force to be reckoned with” (Christian Science Monitor).
