"Four decades after Ronald Reagan's landslide win in 1980, Jimmy Carter's one-term presidency is often labeled a failure; indeed, many Americans view Carter as the only ex-president to have used the White House as a stepping-stone to greater achievements. But in retrospect the Carter political odyssey is a rich and human story, marked by both formidable accomplishments and painful political adversity. In this deeply researched, brilliantly written account, Kai Bird expertly unfolds the Carter saga as a tragic tipping point in American history. As president, Carter was not merely an outsider, but an outlier. He was the only president in a century to grow up in the heart of the Deep South, and his born-again Christianity made him the most openly religious president in memory"--Provided by publisher.

Bush, and Barack Obama--became members ofthe world's most exclusive fraternity. [The author] reveals what life is like after the presidency, and uncovers the complex relationships among these former presidents, and first ladies, in a nation that has been upended by the Oval Office's current, norm-breaking occupant, President Donald Trump.
