Jimmy Carter has been a fascinating figure in American politics, setting a record as the longest surviving President. We will examine the 39th President's life before his surprise nomination and election to the White House in 1976; focus on the major domestic and foreign policies of his Presidency; and will recognize his magnificent post Presidential years, more than 42 years and counting, the most active and creative retirement years of any President. Questions and comments are welcome at the end of the lecture.
