Written just two years after leaving office, Carter’s memoir provides an intimate and candid account of his time in the White House, offering insights into the challenges he faced and the principles that guided his decisions.
Carter’s presidency was marked by a number of significant events, including the Iran hostage crisis, the Camp David Accords, and the energy crisis of the late 1970s. In “Keeping Faith,” he reflects on these events with honesty and introspection, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes negotiations and personal struggles that shaped his tenure.

For collectors and readers alike, this signed copy offers a tangible connection to one of the most principled and influential figures in modern American politics.
