Reflections at Ninety
Dec 13, 2015Rock_Shadow rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
First book by President Carter I've read. Some of the parts I enjoyed the most are his years in the military and on the farm; especially those on the submarine, and also his attention to every detail of his life as a business leader and a family man. I was impressed by his humble spirit and continuing efforts to bring peace to the whole world. His is an understated autobiography, simply written and simply organized, so it's easy to read even though it's a bit dry. His is a humble spirit, determined and dedicated to all people. He hasn't been above or beneath hearing anyone's issues, be it a president of a major country or a single mother from any country. His lifelong commitment to social issues such as racial justice, his proposals for improving citizens lives such as universal healthcare, his establishing expansion of protected lands, and above all, his willingness to mediate talks with any and all world's politicians about accomplishing world peace, not just while in the office but throughout his whole life, are some of the solid accomplishments of this undervalued president. Hat down.
