FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER WILL SIGN HIS "WHITE HOUSE DIARY"


About President Carter¹s new book:
Each day during his presidency, Jimmy Carter made several entries in a
private diary, recording his thoughts, impressions, delights and
frustrations. He offered unvarnished assessments of cabinet members,
congressmen, and foreign leaders; he narrated the progress of secret
negotiations such as those that led to the Camp David Accords.
 
For this new book, President Carter has selected the most illuminating and
relevant entries from this diary. For many of the entries, President Carter
has added current, candid reflections on the people and events that shaped
his presidency, and on the many lessons learned. White House Diary provides
us with an astonishingly intimate view of Jimmy Carter¹s presidency.
 
Admission will be by lettered ticket. The Regulator will give out a ticket
with each book the bookstore sells (or pre-sells).
