Making Sense of the Misunderstood Foreign Policy of Jimmy Carter
The 39th president is remembered today as one of America’s greatest. That hasn’t changed the popular perception of him as a failure while in office, weak and overwhelmed by events, and forever defined by the 444 day long debacle of the Iran hostage crisis. But is it time for another look — especially when it comes to the late president’s foreign policy record? Because with the passage of time, Jimmy Carter’s key initiatives abroad — from Central America to the Middle East, and with human rights at the center — are now looking more visionary by the day.
Host
Peter Bergen: A best-selling author and journalist, Bergen has reported and written extensively on national security issues for decades. He produced the first western TV interview with Osama bin Laden, in 1998, and has since developed a reputation for fair and clear-eyed analysis as well as a long list of sources — from the backroads of central Asia and the Middle East to the corner offices of the State Department. Bergen is a caucasian American male (with a British accent from growing up in England).
