I have read the book, or I should say I ipod?ed the book and listened to it as I traveled. My opinion is that Jimmy Carter is playing revisionist history with his foggy account of history. If I had the time I would lay it all out to show anyone that would like to read about it, but I don?t have the time. Just get the book, read it and draw your own conclusion. But only if you like history, due to the fact that this book is dryer than a popcorn fart.
