Jimmy Carter has lived the most admired and productive post-presidency in the country's history.
Through The Carter Center, which he and Rosalynn Carter founded in 1982, President Carter has fought neglected diseases, waged peace in war zones, and built hope among some of the most forgotten and needy people on the planet.
Serving in more than seventy nations, he has led peacekeeping efforts for Ethiopia, North Korea, Haiti, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Uganda and Sudan. Along with his colleagues in the Carter Center, he has monitored more than sixty-five elections in troubled nations, from Palestine to Indonesia. Carter's bold initiatives, undertaken with dedicated colleagues, have eliminated, prevented, or cured an array of diseases that have been characterized as "neglected" by WHO which afflict tens of millions of individuals unnecessarily. The Carter Center has taught an incredible number of African families how to boost the production of food grains, while Rosalynn Carter has led a vigorous war contrary to the stigma of mental illness round the world, which she describes on the audio.
"Immersing ourselves among these deprived and suffering people has been a great blessing as it stretched our minds and hearts," Carter writes. This is the story of his post-presidency.
