Jimmy Carter ─ Elected President With Pocket Change and Peanuts

This biography describes President Carter's life from his early years through his education, military service, his peanut farm business, and his political career, from state senator in 1962, governor of Georgia in 1970, and later POTUS. Author Dorothy Padgett, organizer of Carter’s Peanut Brigade presidential campaign, gives insider details on his 1975 campaign for president, noting that election laws limited campaign funding and he campaigned on only a small amount of money compared to later presidential campaigns. The book also describes his presidential term and his later advocacy work around the world. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
