The Hornet's Nest by Jimmy Carter

Sunday April 4, 2004
How often is it that a work of fiction is published by a former President of the United States? Well... once, exactly.

In this the first work of fiction by a President of the United States, Jimmy Carter brings to life the Revolutionary War as it was fought in the Deep South. The Hornet's Nest follows a cast of characters and their loved ones on both sides of this violent conflict -- including some who are based on the author's ancestors.

Read John M. Formy-Duval's review of Jimmy Carter's The Hornet's Nest.
