Book Reviews of the Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
Customer Review: A Lousy Book By a Lousy President
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is absolute drivel. First, the writing is terrible. I assume Carter did not actually write the book himself, but he could have at least found a better writer to ghost write it for him. Second, in his zeal to defend the Palestinians and attack the Israelis, our former president seems to have dispensed with careful fact-checking. Where the facts support his conclusion, he states the facts. Where the facts do not support his conclusion, he either ignores the facts, changes the facts, or invents new facts. This is inexcusable. Finally, the book is so one-sided that it fails to contribute anything meaningful to the debate about a complex situation. Instead, it comes off as ranting. President Carter will go down in history as among our least effective presidents. His book is just about as good as his presidency.
