Why aren’t you reading these books so we can talk about them and how much they also changed your life?!? Caro and his collaborator is his wife, Ina Caro, who is his sole researcher. It not only connects me to the memory of my mother, but also everything to be learned from the books and the simple joy of reading them.Īlso, one of the coolest / most impressive / interesting things about these is that the books are written by Robert A. I suppose what I remember is that I never thought I would read them - either would care to or be able to - and now that I have I feel like my life is better for it. My mom was an avid reader and I always remembered these books amongst the rest all these years later. They are no less than the greatest books ever written and the five book project is an amazing literary accomplishment that has yet to be equaled. I read “The Path to Power” last year and thought that I would do the rest of these books once a year until I was done - but I got sucked in by these hard. Now we head into a most glorious phase in 2018 when I got a chance to read the middle three books in The Years of Lyndon Johnson series. Then, my hopes were dashed when I saw that they had already written a play that had premiered with Richard Thomas as Carter and ’m sure the film is coming shortly, without me as the director… (boo) After reading it, I was assured that it would make a great film. I got the book because I thought that this event would potentially make a great film and so in doing research on it, decided to read the the book. Read ALLLLLLL about the Camp David Peace Accords here. This book covers events in 1978, when Jimmy Carter brought Menachem Begin, the Prime Minister of Israel and Anwar Sadad, the President of Egypt, to Camp David to try and broker peace between - spoiler alert - he does it! He’s so unlike any other president that we’ve ever had that he is at least interesting and worthy of knowing more about.
I have a theory that Jimmy Carter was actually a great president and in five or ten years, new books and films will come out about him saying so. Thirteen Days in September - Lawrence Wright There’s a great quote often attributed to Mark Twain, “history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes” - this book starts with a slightly different take, “history does not repeat, but it does instruct.” If you have ever uttered anything about how this administration is like FILL-IN-THE-BLANK-TYRANNICAL-AUTHORITARIAN-REGIME, then read this book and find out exactly how!Ģ. Presented in the order I read them (L to R).
