Overview

America's unstoppable former president Jimmy Carter will mark his 98th birthday this year. To celebrate this milestone, distinguished commentator and political speechwriter Arthur Milnes has assembled 98 of Carter's accomplishments in his 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter. These range from the well-known-forging peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David, building homes with Habitat for Humanity-to the lesser known: establishing today's American craft brewing industry and helping create a new and environmentally friendly line of guitars. Famed actor Dan Aykroyd, who portrayed the 39th president on Saturday Night Live, is already praising 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter. ""Jimmy Carter served only one term as president, swept out of office by the 'silent majority, ' whom even the fumes of Watergate could not alienate from their beloved Republican archetypes,"" he writes. ""He is perceived (today) as not only an accomplished president but also as a supreme human being whose post-presidency has had massive worldwide positive impact. There are many things to thank Jimmy Carter for: his decency, compassion, ethical humanism, honesty, and integrity. Here are 98 more."" Perceptive, witty, and thoroughly researched, 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter is already earning praise from citizens and scholars alike. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
