When historians and pundits praise Jimmy Carter’s achievements as former the US president and extol his exemplary post-presidential years, they mention the recognition of China, the Panama Canal Treaties and the Camp David Accords. However, almost no one mentions what Carter achieved in Africa during his presidency. This is a serious oversight.
When I interviewed President Carter in 2002, he told me: "I spent more effort and worry on Rhodesia than I did on the Middle East."
