Talking Peace

This book is an awesome book because it not only mentions the various conflicts around the world that Americans are unaware of, but it goes into depth about struggles and the interventions by Jimmy Carter to solve these conflicts. This book is an eye-opener to the numerous freedoms and priveleges we often take for granted and that others strive for. Jimmy Carter discusses the attempts of organizations such as the Carter Center and the UNICEF to establish peace and suitable living conditions around the world. Jimmy Carter does not neglect the potential of young Americans and encourages them to do what they can do to make the world a better place for everyone.

I was glad to read about a president that becomes truly active in the fight for peace, liberty and health for all people. Jimmy Carter offers Inspiring words that encourage the reader to help the people in need and teaches how to solve conflicts through negotiation in order to avoid war and pursue peace.

Easy Reading, Infromative Book

Talking Peace: A Vision for the Next Generation is an easy reading, informative book. Jimmy Carter is able to present his ideas and many facts in a concise and understandable way. My knowledge of world events and the workings of the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, was greatly enhanced by this book. I now know that the Carter Center is one of the world's leading mediator's between warring countries. If you have a desire to increase your knowledge of the actions nations, especially the United States, are taking to preserve the peace and biodiversity of the planet, and you want to understand some of the conflicts and struggles other countries are undergoing then read this book.

Informative yet enjoyable

Jimmy Carter's Talking Peace is an exceptionally informative yet quite enjoyable book. The ex-Presidents views and insights into the world as we know it offer a glimpse of true love and compassion for all humanity. The numerous programs that are undertaken by the Carter Foundation provide many underprivileged individuals and families with a reality which is a little friendlier. Habitat for Humanity, for instance, is a great undertaking which provides homeless or poverty stricken people with a place to stay at little or no cost. President Carter is an extremely knowledgeable man whose knowledge equals, if not surpasses, many of the world's recognizable brilliant minds. The experiences he has gathered throughout his life, including both his upbringing and his presidency, allow him to discuss the implications of numerous things, many of which ordinary people do not consider. Overall Talking Peace is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to better themselves by reading it.
