Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This narrative chronicles President Jimmy Carter's remarkable post-presidency, widely regarded as the most productive in U.S. history. Through The Carter Center, founded with Rosalynn Carter in 1982, he has addressed neglected diseases, promoted peace in conflict zones, and instilled hope among the world's most marginalized populations. Operating in over seventy countries, Carter has spearheaded peacekeeping missions in Ethiopia, North Korea, Haiti, Bosnia, Uganda, and Sudan. Alongside his team, he has overseen more than sixty-five elections in troubled regions, from Palestine to Indonesia. Carter's initiatives have successfully eliminated, prevented, or cured various diseases labeled "neglected" by the World Health Organization, impacting millions. The Carter Center has empowered countless African families to boost food production, while Rosalynn Carter has actively fought against the stigma surrounding mental illness globally. Reflecting on their experiences, Jimmy Carter expresses, "Immersing ourselves among these deprived and suffering people has been a great blessing as it stretched our minds and hearts." He emphasizes that the principles guiding The Carter Center—peace, justice, freedom, humility, forgiveness, generosity, human rights, environmental protection, and alleviating suffering—should also define our nation and individual actions. This vision serves as a blueprint for the future.
