About This Item
New York, NY: Basic Books , 2014 Basic Books, New York. 2014. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine; scant bump to tail. DJ: Near Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($27.99); light bump to tail; three small dents in front gutter. Green boards with black overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 273 pp 8vo. Written by a religious historian, he covers Carter's beginnings as a peanut farmer to the galvanizing politician who rode a reenergized religious movement into the White House. Responding to his message of racial justice, women's rights, and concern for the plight of the poor, evangelicals across the country helped propel him to office. His defeat by Reagan began the rise of the Religious Right and the Republican Party. Carter was the last great standard-bearer of an important strand of American Christianity. A clean very presentable copy.
