The Real Jimmy Carter

March 24, 2004 Posted by Scott at 11:26 AM

The vast majority of new books published each year are overlong and underneeded. One book that is overdue and badly needed, however, is a critical account of the career of former United States president and current man without a country Jimmy Carter. We are proud to announce that our friend Steve Hayward, author of the indispensable The Age of Reagan, 1964-1980: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order, has now written the book on Carter.

The book is The Real Jimmy Carter, scheduled for publication by Regnery in May, and it can be pre-ordered from Amazon. I have read three chapters of the book in manuscript and can advise that it is an eye-opening tour de force. I look forward to reading the whole thing in May and reporting back, but you will want copies for yourself and for the June graduates in your family who know nothing of Carter except that he occasionally pounds nails for Habitat for Humanity.
