DeMause, Lloyd, and Ebel, Henry. Jimmy ***** ***** American Fantasy:

***** [sic] Explorations. New York: Two Continents /Psychohistory

*****, 1977. 9-31.

This book predicts, using a [then relatively new, since when this ***** was published in 1977, psychohistory was then less than five years old (see Editor's Foreword)] psycho-historical/biographical approach, that Jimmy Carter would [in truth he did not] lead America *****to a w*****r by 1979. De Mause's argument is that ***** performing a "fantasy analysis," ***** is, a content *****nalysis of one or more of Carter's Presidential speec*****s, as heard by a group or groups of citizens that extracts the exceptionally strong-sounding and/or otherwise emotionally-laden words and phrases. Next, the psycho-historical investigator uses this same extracted material but now adds to it additional secondary source material about ***** subject's childhood ***** can be gleaned through interviews with siblings, teachers, childhood friends, etc; ***** photographs, and other verifiable and verified documents from the subject's childhood. All of this, in combination, deMause further suggests, may portend future directions ***** a ***** U.S. Presidency, e.g., if th*****t President will eventually take the country to war.

Hargrove, Erwin C. Jimmy Carter as President: Leadership and the Politics of ***** Public Good. Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana State University Press, 1988.

Hargrove's book, published in 1988, eight years after the end ***** Jimmy Carter's Presidency that ended in 1980 with his defeat by Ronald Reagan, ***** b*****ed on research gathered by its author as part of the Miller Center Series on the *****n Presidency. Carter, m embers of his White House Cab*****et, and *****s in key positions of political and/or advisor importance ***** authority within the Carter ***** House were interviewed. The research method w***** face-to-face oral interviews of ********** sources, and of Former President Carter himself. Based on that research, the book describes ***** aspects Jimmy Carter as a le*****der, e.g., in terms of his personal dynamism ***** overall leadership style. According to Hargrove, ***** was a personable but also a probing discussion le*****der, and *****, in comb*****ation with his ***** his inner circle's independent reading, research, and reflections in private, combined, was how decisions were arrived at *****in Jimmy ***** White House. On the other hand, perhaps in reaction ***** Watergate, Carter ***** neither well-practiced nor very interested in political maneuvering and was perhaps even (due, as Hargrove suggests, to his engineering background in the Naval Submar*****e Program under Hyman Rickover) ********** intently focused, ***** therefore lacking in sufficient peripheral vision.

Kaufman, Burton I. The ***** of James Earl Carter, Jr. Lawrence, KA: The University ***** of Kansas. 1993.

***** book is an analytical overview of what ***** author, political h*****torian Burton *****. Kaufman ***** Virg*****ia Polytechnic Institute, considers to be the essentially failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter. As ***** states in his Preface, Jimmy ***** as President was in his opinion "long on good intenti*****s but short on knowledge" (p. xi). The book b*****ins, in its ********** chapter, with a concise biographical sketch of *****
