The interviews collected here—four of them never published in book form before—span the arc of Carter’s long career as a politician, a public servant, and a citizen diplomat. They range from an early joust with conservative commentator William F. Buckley Jr. to his final interview, a moving joint conversation with his wife Rosalynn on the occasion of their 75th wedding anniversary … and, of course, it includes the notorious 1976 Playboy interview wherein Carter remarked that he had “committed adultery in my heart many times.”
The result is a fascinating look into the mind and soul of one of our most admirable and principled presidents ever.
