Sommario/riassunto

Covering their lives from childhood to the end of the Georgia governorship, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is one of the few major biographies of an American president that pays significant attention to the First Lady. So deeply were their lives and aspirations intertwined, a close friend once remarked: ""You can't really understand Jimmy Carter unless you know Rosalynn."" The story of one is the story of the other.



To recount their remarkable lives, E. Stanly Godbold, Jr. draws on academic and military records, the governor's correspondence, the recollections of the Carters themselves, as well as

In particular, Ellis shows how the occult has been a common element in youth culture for hundreds of years.Using materials from little known publications and archives,  Lucifer Ascending details the true so
