An essential re-evaluation of the complex triumphs and tragedies of Jimmy Carters presidential legacyfrom the expert biographer and Pulitzer Prizewinning co-author of American Prometheus

This is superior history, superbly researched and marvelously written.Douglas Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of American Moonshot

Four decades after Ronald Reagans landslide win in 1980, Jimmy Carters one-term presidency is often labeled a failure  indeed, many Americans view Carter as the only ex-president to have used the White House as a stepping-stone to greater achievements. But in retrospect the Carter political odyssey is a rich and human story, marked by both formidable accomplishments and painful political adversity. In this deeply researched, brilliantly written account, Pulitzer Prizewinning biographer Kai Bird expertly unfolds the Carter saga as a tragic tipping point in American history.

As president, Carter was not merely an outsider  he was an outlier. He was the only president in a century to grow up in the heart of the Deep South, and his born-again Christianity made him the most openly religious president in memory. This outlier brought to the White House a rare mix of humility, candor, and unnerving self-confidence that neither Washington nor America was ready to embrace. Decades before todays public reckoning with the vast gulf between Americas ethos and its actions, Carter looked out on a nation torn by race and demoralized by Watergate and Vietnam and prescribed a radical self-examination from which voters recoiled. The cost of his unshakable belief in doing the right thing would be losing his re-election bidand witnessing the ascendance of Reagan.

In these remarkable pages, Bird traces the arc of Carters administration, from his aggressive domestic agenda to his controversial foreign policy record, taking readers inside the Oval Office and through Carters battles with both a political establishment and a Washington press corps that proved as adversarial as any foreign power. Bird shows how issues still hotly debated todayfrom national health care to growing inequality and racism to the Israeli-Palestinian conflictburned at the heart of Carters America, and consumed a president who found a moral duty in solving them.

Drawing on interviews with Carter and members of his administration and recently declassified documents, Bird delivers a profound, clear-eyed evaluation of a leader whose legacy has been deeply misunderstood. The Outlier is the definitive account of an enigmatic presidencyboth as it really happened and as it is remembered in the American consciousness.
