About this listen
Carter describes the history of previous peace efforts and why they fell short. He argues persuasively that the road to a peace agreement is now open and that it has broad international and regional support. Most of all, since there will be no progress without courageous and sustained U.S. leadership, he says the time for progress is now. President Barack Obama is committed to a personal effort to exert that leadership, starting early in his administration.
This is President Carter's call for action, and he lays out a practical and doable path to peace.

The world’s discrimination and violence against women and girls is the most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights: This is President Jimmy Carter’s call to action. A Call to Action addresses the suffering inflicted upon women by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare. Key verses are often omitted or quoted out of context by male religious leaders to exalt the status of men and exclude women.

Story
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

Growing up in one of the meanest counties in the Jim Crow South, Carter is the only American president who essentially lived in three centuries: his early life on the farm in the 1920s without electricity or running water might as well have been in the nineteenth; his presidency put him at the center of major events in the twentieth; and his efforts on conflict resolution and global health set him on the cutting edge of the challenges of the 21st.

Stuart E. Eizenstat was at Jimmy Carter’s side from his political rise in Georgia through four years in the White House, where he served as Chief Domestic Policy Adviser. He was directly involved in all domestic and economic decisions as well as in many foreign policy ones. Famous for the legal pads he took to every meeting, he draws on more than 7500 pages of notes and 350 interviews of all the major figures of the time, to write the comprehensive history of an underappreciated president—and to give an intimate view on how the presidency works.

Story
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity. For decades, the U.S. State Department called it diplomacy. David Friedman was an outside candidate when President Trump appointed him U.S. ambassador to Israel. He took office to find U.S.-Israel policy stuck in stalemate. For years, accepted wisdom was that extensive experience and detailed knowledge of Middle Eastern history and culture were necessary to negotiate treaties. In truth, Friedman realized, all parties played on that accepted wisdom to stall—expecting to get a better deal further down the road.

Story
Each day during his presidency, Jimmy Carter made several entries in a private diary. He offered unvarnished assessments of cabinet members, congressmen, and foreign leaders; he narrated the progress of secret negotiations such as those that led to the Camp David Accords. When his four-year term came to an end in early 1981, the diary amounted to more than 5,000 pages. But this extraordinary document has never been made public - until now.

Jimmy should NOT have read this
I'd probably get the 'book' rather than the audio version. Jimmy is starting to slur his words too much and it makes listening a little less enticing. The content is pretty good, and the maps are available on Audible it says [although I haven't seen them, nor looked yet], but like Peace or Apartheid it probably makes more sense to get the 'book' with the appendixes to refer to, especially since they are both quick reads.

Wisdom Literature
Here Jimmy Carter provides a useful and succinct survey of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, with a a review of efforts that have been made to achieve peace, and a list of practical proposals for future realization.
His book, appeared just as the Gaza assault, "Cast Lead" was concluding. At the time the title of this book appeared to be unrealistic, given that the outbreak of violence made peace seem ever more remote.
The title "We Can Have Peace.." in this context is an expression of defiance; it defies the ill will of those who would obviate the prospects for peace. Carter is convinced that an informed and determined American leadership can make a positive difference, even as the horizon seems unremittingly bleak. Thus the book is, both a guide for the perplexed, and a briefing for the new President.
His advice conforms closely to those who have anonymously toiled for the cause of peace. Carter endorsed and encouraged the Geneva Accords, the agreement that was the outcome of a tough negotiating process between seasoned Israeli and Palestinian representatives, which aimed to create an agreement that respected the security requirements of all concerned. No American leader has demonstrated such commitment to this vital cause.
Jimmy Carter is not a professional reader, but this reading was clear. I appreciated that it was his voice speaking. It gave the sense of being directly addressed by an eminent personage who is both earnest and brilliant, who has been fastidious in taking detailed notes of pertinent information that he is determined to share with you.
I would recommend this book to those least likely to think it is for them, but have an avid interest in the middle east and are seriously concerned about peace and the practical measures that have to be taken for its achievement.
