Detailed item info | Synopsis | What does an American president do after leaving office? After being leader of the free world, any other job would be a comedown, yet retirement seems a poor choice given the great knowledge acquired in a term of office. And then there is the lust for power, or at least influence. In BEYOND THE WHITE DESCRIBES, Jimmy Carter tells how he solved the problem by establishing a center in his name--with a worldwide presence--that addresses problems that seem to fall through the cracks of official policy, such as hunger, poverty, disease, and conflict. Carter put his personal stamp on these efforts, and here he shares his experiences while addressing criticism from his enemies. What comes through in BEYOND THE WHITE HOUSE is the exuberance, energy, and sometimes humbling perspective of someone putting his personal stamp on the world while making a measurable difference.
