Description
Book SynopsisOffers a comprehensive look at Jimmy Carter's aggregate foreign policy record. This book argues that the diplomatic performance of the thirty-ninth president was mediocre, primarily because of Carter's own doing.
Trade ReviewWell-researched, clearly written, and persuasive in its judicious conclusions. [This] book should become the standard source for the foreign affairs record of this presidency. A stimulating and thoughtful review of the world in the Carter years and how the United States endeavored to come to terms with the changes that accelerated during the president's four years in office.
-- Lewis Gould, University of Texas
Kaufman's historical treatment of Carter's foreign policy experience is professional, fair, and balanced. The coverage is comprehensive.
