Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Though Jimmy Carter's presidency was sandwichedAunhappily, for the most partAbetween the Nixon-Ford and Reagan-Bush eras, the years from 1976 to 1980 were highly significant in revealing the country's marked shift from the fast-fading New Deal. Carter understood better than most of his advisors that a transition was underway and moving fast. To help us understand this crucial period, editors Fink and Graham have gathered the results of a 1997 conference at the Carter Library in Atlanta that sought to assess the Carter presidency from the vantage point of 20 years. This remarkable volume contains the insights of some of our most distinguished historians and political scientists, including the venerable William E. Leuchtenburg, Melvyn Dubofsky, James T. Patterson, and William Stueck. Surveying various policy initiatives undertaken by Carter, these scholars create a context for the Carter years that is unique in its quality and coverage. Their essays capture the essence of the period, giving readers a sharper sense of Carter's successes and failures. This exceptional book will serve as a critical guide to the Carter presidency for years to come. Highly recommended.AEdward Goedeken, Iowa State Univ. Lib., Ames
