Riassunto

As the Vietnam War drew to a close in 1975, Americans were greatly disheartened by the loss and devastation it caused. Facing high unemployment rates, high inflation, and oil shortages across the country, the American people were looking for a president who could boost their spirits and take charge of the faltering economy. James Earl Carter, later known as President Jimmy Carter, played up his farm-boy persona and won the presidential election, but his efforts to revitalize the troubled nation fell short of the mark.
The Carter Years focuses on the administration of President Carter and includes a section of more than 250 entries covering all the key personalities of the era. In addition, there is a chronology of contemporary events; a sizable appendix that includes important documents, such as inaugural addresses and presidential speeches; tables listing the members of the White House staff, cabinet members, members of Congress and the Senate; and more.
