“一本温暖而详细的回忆录。”——《洛杉矶时报》
吉米·卡特,第三十九任总统、诺贝尔和平奖获得者、国际人道主义者、渔夫,带着自豪、幽默和一些反思回顾了他充实而幸福的一生。
九十岁的吉米·卡特以令人放松的坦率回顾了他的公共和私人生活。他补充了他在乔治亚州农村的青年时代的细节和情感,他在他宏伟的《黎明前一小时》中描述了这一点。他写了种族主义和卡特一家的孤立。他描述了安纳波利斯欺凌制度的残酷性,以及他在潜艇上服役时两次差点丧命,以及他与海军上将里科弗的精彩采访。他描述了母亲对他的深远影响,以及他如何钦佩父亲,尽管他没有效仿他。他承认,他决定退出海军,后来进入政界,但没有征求妻子罗莎琳的意见,现在回想起来,他是多么震惊。
在《充实的一生》中,卡特讲述了他引以为豪的事情以及他可能会做哪些不同的事情。他讨论了他对连任失败的遗憾,以及他和罗莎琳如何继续前进,创造了新的生活,并获得了第二和第三个令人满意的职业生涯。他坦率地谈到了继任他的总统、世界领导人,以及他对自己最关心的事业的热情,特别是妇女的状况和发展中国家贫困人口的状况。
这是这位杰出人物明智而动人的回顾。吉米·卡特过着我们伟大的美国人的生活之一——从农村默默无闻到世界闻名、普遍尊重和满足。《充实的一生》是一本非凡的读物。

A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety
by Jimmy Carter (Author) July 7, 2015

“A warm and detailed memoir.” —Los Angeles Times
Jimmy Carter, thirty-ninth President, Nobel Peace Prize winner, international humanitarian, fisherman, reflects on his full and happy life with pride, humor, and a few second thoughts.
At ninety, Jimmy Carter reflects on his public and private life with a frankness that is disarming. He adds detail and emotion about his youth in rural Georgia that he described in his magnificent An Hour Before Daylight. He writes about racism and the isolation of the Carters. He describes the brutality of the hazing regimen at Annapolis, and how he nearly lost his life twice serving on submarines and his amazing interview with Admiral Rickover. He describes the profound influence his mother had on him, and how he admired his father even though he didn’t emulate him. He admits that he decided to quit the Navy and later enter politics without consulting his wife, Rosalynn, and how appalled he is in retrospect.
In A Full Life, Carter tells what he is proud of and what he might do differently. He discusses his regret at losing his re-election, but how he and Rosalynn pushed on and made a new life and second and third rewarding careers. He is frank about the presidents who have succeeded him, world leaders, and his passions for the causes he cares most about, particularly the condition of women and the deprived people of the developing world.
This is a wise and moving look back from this remarkable man. Jimmy Carter has lived one of our great American lives—from rural obscurity to world fame, universal respect, and contentment. A Full Life is an extraordinary read.

A Full Life: Reflections at 90 is a memoir written by Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, released on July 7, 2015. The book is a collection of reflections and memories, including his upbringing, political career, and humanitarian efforts.[1][2][3][4]
Contents
The book begins with President Carter's childhood and early life in the Georgia countryside. It covers his early political career, including his service in the Georgia Senate and his run for the governor's office.[4] The book also provides an in-depth look at President Carter's time in the White House and the difficulties he faced.[4] He divides these difficulties into two categories: "Issues Mostly Resolved" and "Problems Still Pending". The first group includes topics such as Rhodesia, the B-1 bomber, the rescue of New York City and Chrysler, and the end of the Cold War. He touches on the significant SALT II Treaty. Among the issues that remain unresolved, Carter highlights drugs, special interests, the potential for nuclear war, and intelligence agencies. He speaks about Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton objectively but does not fully absolve them for their actions.[2] The book continues to Carter's post-presidential life, including his work with The Carter Center, his efforts to promote peace and health, and his past times: painting, fishing and woodwork.[5]
