Carter1st ed.Athens University of Georgia Pressc20071 online resource (145 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780820329147 0820329142 Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-120) and index.Prophet from Plains covers Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter's major achievements and setbacks in light of what has been at once his greatest asset and his greatest flaw: his stubborn, faith-driven integrity. Carter's remarkable postpresidency is still in the making; however, he has already redefined the role for all who follow him. Frye Gaillard, who wrote extensively about Carter at the Charlotte Observer, was among the first to take the Carter postpresidency seriously and to challenge many accepted conclusions about Carter's term in office. Carter was not an irresolute president, says Gaillard, but rather one so certain of his own rectitude that he misjudged the importance of "selling" himself to America. Ranging across the highs and lows of the Carter presidency, Gaillard covers the energy crisis, the Iran hostage situation, the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal and other treaties, and the new diplomatic emphasis on human rights. Carter's established priorities did not change once he was out of office, but he was far more effective outside the strictures of presidential politics. Gaillard's coverage of this period includes Carter's friendship with Gerald R. Ford, his work through the Carter Center on disease control and election monitoring, and his association with Habitat for Humanity. Prophet from Plains locates Carter in the tradition of Old Testament prophets who took uncompromising stands for peace and justice. Resisting the role of an above-the-fray elder statesman, Carter has thrust himself into international controversies in ways that some find meddlesome and others heroic.PresidentsUnited StatesBiographyEx-presidentsUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1977-1981United StatesForeign relations1977-1981PresidentsEx-presidents973.926092Gaillard Frye1946-1106094MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971350503321Prophet from Plains4372414UNINA06677nam 22005653 450 991101967720332120240912152127.09781394284153139428415297813942841391394284136(MiAaPQ)EBC31252747(Au-PeEL)EBL31252747(CKB)31356056100041(CaSebORM)9781786308702(Exl-AI)31252747(Perlego)4384932(OCoLC)1429722955(EXLCZ)993135605610004120240407d2024 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPhilosophies of Technologies Theory As Practice1st ed.Newark :John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,2024.©2024.1 online resource (229 pages)9781786308702 1786308703 Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Author Presentation -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part 1.
