Author Description

What sets the Carter Presidential Portrait volume apart from other volumes in this series is its concentration on the President and First Lady, Cabinet level officials, certain intangibles such as the nature of the times, accidents and unforeseen events and presidential style and politics. Significantly, this volume is the first in which the President and the First Lady graciously joined in its preparation. Includes essays by Judge Shirley Hufstedler, Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall, Attorney General Griffin Bell, Secretary of Commerce Juanita Kreps, Secretary of Commerce Philip M. Klutznick, Secretary of Agriculture Bob S. Bergland, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Director of the Policy Planning Staff Anthony Lake, Ambassador Donald McHenry, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie, Yale Professor of History Gaddis Smith, and Vice President Walter F. Mondale. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.
