In Conversation: On Jimmy Carter & Ted Kennedy

In His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life, journalist, documentarian, and historian Jonathan Alter examines an enigmatic man of faith and his improbable journey from barefoot boy to United States president to global icon. He’s speaking with fellow author and political scribe Neal Gabler, whose latest, Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, 1932-1975, is an immersive and humanizing look at who many consider to be the lesser Camelot-era brother, and how he became a formidable figure of liberalism. Joining them to help direct the discussion is Gregory Kroger, a professor of political science at the University of Miami and the author of Filibustering: A Political History of Obstruction in the House and Senate.
