Books about and authored by Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States (1977–1981).
The post-presidency of Jimmy Carter began on January 20, 1981, following the end of Jimmy Carter's term as president. Carter was the 39th president of the United States, serving from 1977 to 1981. Carter's post-presidency is widely considered by historians and political analysts to be one of the most accomplished of any former U.S. president. After leaving office, Carter remained engaged in political and social projects, establishing the Carter Center, building his presidential library, teaching at Emory University in Atlanta, and writing numerous books, ranging from political memoirs to poetry. He also contributed to the expansion of the nonprofit housing organization Habitat for Humanity.After he left office, Carter returned to Georgia to his peanut farm, which he had placed into a blind trust during his presidency to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. He found that the trustees had mismanaged the trust, leaving him more than one million dollars in debt. In 1982, he established the Carter Center to promote and expand human rights, which earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He traveled extensively to conduct peace negotiations, monitor elections and further the eradication of infectious diseases. He and his wife Rosalynn are key figures in Habitat for Humanity. Carter wrote numerous books and continued to comment on global affairs, including two books on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, in which he criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians as apartheid. He and Rosalynn received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999.Aged 99, Carter is the oldest living, longest-lived and longest-married president, and has the longest post-presidency, at 43 years, 111 days. He is the 4th-oldest living former state leader. On February 18, 2023, it was announced that Carter was in home hospice care, and is now in hospice for 1 year, 82 days so far.
A false letter circulating on social media claimed that former President Jimmy Carter had died at the age of 99. The false news gained traction, even fooling Senator Mike Lee and several media outlets. However, the Carter Center and Carter's doctor confirmed he is alive but in at-home hospice care after starting end-of-life care in February 2023. The letter contained absurd claims that revealed its fictitious nature, particularly in its portrayal of Carter's comments regarding his late wife.
Jimmy Carter turns 100 today and has expressed his birthday wish is to get to vote for Kamala Harris . The 39th president is already the longest lived in U.S. history and is now the first to become a centenarian. When he went into hospice care in 2023 at home in Georgia it was believed he only had days to live.
The Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, located in Plains, Georgia, preserves sites associated with Jimmy Carter (born 1924), 39th president of the United States. These include his residence, boyhood farm, school, and the town railroad depot, which served as his campaign headquarters during the 1976 election. The building which used to be Plains High School (opened in 1921 and closed in 1979) serves as the park's museum and visitor center. As Carter lives in Plains, the area surrounding the residence, including the burial site of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter (1927–2023) is under the protection of the United States Secret Service and is not open to the public.The Carters returned to Plains in 1981. The former President and First Lady pursued many of the goals of his administration through the Carter Center in Atlanta, which has programs to alleviate human suffering and to promote human rights and world peace. Carter taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church, which is open to the public.It was established in 1987 by Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 100–206 as Jimmy Carter National Historic Site and renamed as a national historical park in 2021.
The home of Jimmy Carter (born 1924), who was the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, and his wife Rosalynn Carter (1927–2023) is located at 209 Woodland Drive in Plains, Georgia, United States. It is the only house that the Carters owned; they have occupied it since 1961. The house was built by the Carters in 1960; work was subsequently carried out on the house in 1974 and 1981. The Carters knocked down a wall at the house themselves during remodelling of the house in the 2010s. Rosalynn Carter described the work of knocking down the wall as "second-nature" due to the couple's extensive work with the charity Habitat for Humanity. The one-story house is set on a lot of 2.4 acres (0.97 ha); it was built at a price of $10 per square foot (equivalent to $103 in 2023). The house was built to accommodate the Carters' growing family; they had three young sons, James, Donnel, and Jack, at the time of its construction. It had four bedrooms at the time of its construction in 1960.The Historic American Buildings Survey describes the house as a "modest 1960s ranch-style house". In a 2018 profile of the Carters' life in Plains for The Washington Post, Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan described the house as "dated, but homey and comfortable".A pond on the grounds was personally dug by Jimmy Carter; he used it for fly fishing. A magnolia tree on the grounds was grown from a tree on the lawn of the White House that was planted by President Andrew Jackson.Rosalynn Carter is buried on the grounds of the house by a willow tree on the lawn of the property. Jimmy Carter intends to be buried next to her upon his death. The home is part of Jimmy Carter National Historical Park but is not open to the public. The deed to the house has been granted to the National Park Service (NPS) who will turn the house into a museum and open it to public tours after Jimmy Carter's death. The Carters have been actively involved in planning the future museum; their involvement as living participants in a presidential home museum project is unique. Future tours would include the pool, tennis courts and back patio of the house; new paths and benches would be constructed. Jimmy Carter's wood shop would also be on display. The NPS plans to make the proposed museum of the house reflect the couple's use of the residence "as a place for both refuge and recreation". The garden will be managed along environmental principles to reflect Rosalynn Carter's interest in a pollinator garden.

His administration established the U.S. Department of Energy and the Department of Education. The end of his presidency was marked by the Iran hostage crisis, an energy crisis, the Three Mile Island accident, the Nicaraguan Revolution, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In response to the invasion, Carter escalated the Cold War by ending détente, imposing a grain embargo against the Soviets, enunciating the Carter Doctrine, and leading the multinational boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

He has also written numerous books, ranging from political memoirs to poetry, while continuing to comment on global affairs, including two books on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, in which he criticizes Israel's treatment of Palestinians as apartheid.

At 43 years, Carter's post-presidency is the longest in U.S. history.
Former President Jimmy Carter, 99, expressed his intention to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. Carter is in hospice care since February 2023 and is focused on reaching his milestone 100th birthday on October 1. His grandson reported that Carter remains alert and engaged in current political issues.

In February 2023, former President Jimmy Carter, then 98, announced that he would forgo further medical intervention, and instead spend the remainder of his time in hospice care at his home in Plains, Ga. Carter had been briefly hospitalized for several health reasons in recent years, including liver surgery and cancer. At the time, homages began to roll in, as it seemed the former politician was entering his final days. But nearly a year and a half later, Carter who is nearing his 100th birthday, in October has defied expectations and is hoping to cast a vote for Kamala Harris this fall, according to his family. It is common for hospice patients to aspire to live long enough for landmark birthdays, or family events, Angela Novas , chief medical officer of the Hospice Foundation of America, who is not involved in Carters care, tells Yahoo Life, and hospice care will do everything in its power to make sure you are present for those milestones.

The land on which the museum sits was a part of General Sherman's headquarters during the Civil War's Battle of Atlanta.Although President Herbert Hoover and almost all Presidents since (except John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson) have chosen to be buried at their presidential museum, this will not be the case for Jimmy Carter, who plans to be interred at his home at Plains, Georgia with his wife Rosalynn Carter. The Carters have also planned for their home, which is owned by the National Park Service and is part of the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, to be converted into a museum after their death.
