Waging Peace, Fighting Disease, Building Hope
by Jimmy Carter
Carter recounts his adventures over the last 25 years, including founding the Carter Center and putting it and himself to the task of public, useful good works.
"Less a memoir than an extended brochure for his nonprofit institution ... Ultimately, though, this book doesn't measure up to his bestsellers of recent years." - Publishers Weekly.
"Makes a strong case for the Carter Center as an effective tool for international diplomacy, human welfare and social reform." - Kirkus Reviews.
