Carter Unmasked
The Man Who Warned AmericaBy Miguel Thornton
Length4h 4m
About this audiobook
Fifteen myths. One forgotten president. One untold truth.
In Carter Unmasked, historian Miguel Thornton shatters fifteen myths that have buried Jimmy Carter under half a century of ridicule — from the so-called “malaise speech” to the Iran hostage crisis. Behind the cardigan and the sermons stood a disciplined strategist who cut U.S. oil imports, forged Middle East peace, appointed Paul Volcker, and warned of the coming climate storm. Using declassified memos, diaries, and White House transcripts, Thornton reveals a president betrayed not by weakness, but by a nation addicted to illusion. Carter Unmasked isn’t nostalgia — it’s a forensic re-examination of leadership, media, and the moral cost of truth in power.
Fifteen myths fall. A legacy rises.
