"Jimmy Carter has been given a free ride from the liberal media, liberal historians, and even the American people, who excuse his political delinquencies and disasters on the grounds that he is a "good" man. But as bank robber Willie Sutton said of Carter: "I've never seen a bigger confidence man in my life, and I've been around some of the best in the business."" "It's time to set the record straight. Finally, an honest historian - Steven F. Hayward, author of The Age of Reagan - demolishes the myth of "Saint" Jimmy and exposes how Carter created today's leftist Democratic party of John Kerry and Hillary Clinton."--BOOK JACKET.
