Jimmy Carter participated in more than two hundred interviews between 1976 and 1996. In the twenty-three conversations presented here, highly regarded interviewers lead President Carter to clarify his public stands and private beliefs.

The dialogue created through these encounters demonstrates the growth of a principled man, encapsulating the major debates and concerns of the last quarter of the "American Century." Taken separately, the conversations provide a window on the recent past; taken together, they provide the basis for a new understanding of Carter the individualist and for a reassessment of an important segment of the political thought of our times.

The interviewers are Bonnie Angelo, David Broder, Tom Brokaw, Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, Stanley Cloud, John Dancy, Sam Donaldson, Richard F. Fenno, Robert Fulghum, Murray Gart, Erwin Hargrove, Steven Hochman, Charles O. Jones, Bill Kovach, James Laue, H. Clifton McCleskey, Robert McNeil, Bill Moyers, Richard E. Neustadt, Dan Rather, Harry Reasoner, Barbara Reynolds, Don Richardson, Carl Rowan, Robert Scheer, Bob Schieffer, Hugh Sidney, Kenneth W. Thompson, David B. Truman, Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, Curtis Wilkie, Judy Woodruff, and James S. Young.

Don Richardson is professor and chair of the Department of Public Communication at Sam Houston State University.
