White House Diary

White House Diary collects President Jimmy Carter’s daily entries from his time in the White House (1977–1981). Rich with firsthand observations, policy reflections, and personal moments, this intimate chronicle provides a unique window into the daily responsibilities, challenges, and decisions of the presidency. Ideal for students of modern American history, presidential scholars, and readers interested in political memoirs, the book illuminates both major events and quieter episodes from Carter’s administration with clarity and candor.

Remarkably, we also get Carter's retrospective comments on these topics and more: thirty years after the fact, he has annotated the diary with his candid reflections on the people and events that shaped his presidency, and on the many lessons learned.

Carter is now widely seen as one of the truly wise men of our time. Offering an unprecedented look at both the man and his tenure, this fascinating book will stand as a unique contribution to the history of the American presidency.
