About this title

Review:

"Seldom has a presidential memoir been so self-revealing." --Wall Street Journal "Responsible, truthful, intelligent, earnest, rational, purposeful. Thus the man: thus the book." --The Washington Post

Seldom has a presidential memoir been so self-revealing.

"Wall Street Journal""

Responsible, truthful, intelligent, earnest, rational, purposeful. Thus the man: thus the book.

"The Washington Post""

A wonderfully vivid closeup portrait of Leonid Brezhnev. And Mr. Carter s detailed report on the Camp David Middle East peace summit is absolutely riveting.
