“一本溫暖而詳細的回憶錄。”——《洛杉磯時報》

吉米·卡特,第三十九任總統、諾貝爾和平獎獲得者、國際人道主義者、漁夫,帶著自豪、幽默和一些反思回顧了他充實而幸福的一生。

九十歲的吉米·卡特以令人放鬆的坦率回顧了他的公共和私人生活。他補充了他在喬治亞州農村的青年時代的細節和情感,他在他宏偉的《黎明前一小時》中描述了這一點。他寫了種族主義和卡特一家的孤立。他描述了安納波利斯欺淩製度的殘酷性,以及他在潛艇上服役時兩次差點喪命,以及他與海軍上將裏科弗的精彩采訪。他描述了母親對他的深遠影響,以及他如何欽佩父親,盡管他沒有效仿他。他承認,他決定退出海軍,後來進入政界,但沒有征求妻子羅莎琳的意見,現在回想起來,他是多麽震驚。

在《充實的一生》中,卡特講述了他引以為豪的事情以及他可能會做哪些不同的事情。他討論了他對連任失敗的遺憾,以及他和羅莎琳如何繼續前進,創造了新的生活,並獲得了第二和第三個令人滿意的職業生涯。他坦率地談到了繼任他的總統、世界領導人,以及他對自己最關心的事業的熱情,特別是婦女的狀況和發展中國家貧困人口的狀況。

這是這位傑出人物明智而動人的回顧。吉米·卡特過著我們偉大的美國人的生活之一——從農村默默無聞到世界聞名、普遍尊重和滿足。《充實的一生》是一本非凡的讀物。

A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety

“A warm and detailed memoir.” —Los Angeles Times

Jimmy Carter, thirty-ninth President, Nobel Peace Prize winner, international humanitarian, fisherman, reflects on his full and happy life with pride, humor, and a few second thoughts.

At ninety, Jimmy Carter reflects on his public and private life with a frankness that is disarming. He adds detail and emotion about his youth in rural Georgia that he described in his magnificent An Hour Before Daylight. He writes about racism and the isolation of the Carters. He describes the brutality of the hazing regimen at Annapolis, and how he nearly lost his life twice serving on submarines and his amazing interview with Admiral Rickover. He describes the profound influence his mother had on him, and how he admired his father even though he didn’t emulate him. He admits that he decided to quit the Navy and later enter politics without consulting his wife, Rosalynn, and how appalled he is in retrospect.

In A Full Life, Carter tells what he is proud of and what he might do differently. He discusses his regret at losing his re-election, but how he and Rosalynn pushed on and made a new life and second and third rewarding careers. He is frank about the presidents who have succeeded him, world leaders, and his passions for the causes he cares most about, particularly the condition of women and the deprived people of the developing world.

This is a wise and moving look back from this remarkable man. Jimmy Carter has lived one of our great American lives—from rural obscurity to world fame, universal respect, and contentment. A Full Life is an extraordinary read.

A Full Life: Reflections at 90 is a memoir written by Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, released on July 7, 2015. The book is a collection of reflections and memories, including his upbringing, political career, and humanitarian efforts.[1][2][3][4]

Contents
The book begins with President Carter's childhood and early life in the Georgia countryside. It covers his early political career, including his service in the Georgia Senate and his run for the governor's office.[4] The book also provides an in-depth look at President Carter's time in the White House and the difficulties he faced.[4] He divides these difficulties into two categories: "Issues Mostly Resolved" and "Problems Still Pending". The first group includes topics such as Rhodesia, the B-1 bomber, the rescue of New York City and Chrysler, and the end of the Cold War. He touches on the significant SALT II Treaty. Among the issues that remain unresolved, Carter highlights drugs, special interests, the potential for nuclear war, and intelligence agencies. He speaks about Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton objectively but does not fully absolve them for their actions.[2] The book continues to Carter's post-presidential life, including his work with The Carter Center, his efforts to promote peace and health, and his past times: painting, fishing and woodwork.[5]
