About A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety by Jimmy Carter

Written at ninety, Jimmy Carter’s memoir looks back on a life spanning rural Georgia, naval service, the presidency, and later humanitarian work. Carter writes about his youth, the influence of his parents, racism and isolation, and the demands of life in the Navy, including his service on submarines and interview with Admiral Rickover.

He also reflects frankly on family and public life: decisions he made without consulting Rosalynn, losing re-election, and building rewarding careers after the White House. His reflections touch on fellow presidents and world leaders, as well as his concern for women and people living in poverty in the developing world. Readers interested in Carter’s life and perspective on American public service will find a personal account of both his achievements and his second thoughts.
