An hour before daylight
Why people recommend it
An hour before daylight is a memoir by Jimmy Carter that chronicles the former United States President's rural childhood growing up on a farm in Georgia. On The Ezra Klein Show in June 2023, during an episode titled What We Learned Reading Ron DeSantis's Books, Carlos Lozada recommended this autobiographical work as one of several memoirs written by Carter. Lozada brought up the book while discussing political reading materials, presenting the text as an insightful look into Carter's formative early years before he entered public service and national politics. The recommendation highlighted the book's value in understanding the background of the former president through his own reflections on agrarian life, family dynamics, and the environment that shaped his character and worldview long before his presidency.
