"...a comprehensive account of the professional and personal lives of the powerful couple who have worked together as reformers in Georgia, President and First Lady of the United States, and founders of the Carter Center. The book incorporates material from declassified CIA documents and extensive research in the Carter, Ford, Reagan, Kennedy, and Bush Presidential Libraries. "
