On January 20, '77, Carter was inaugurated as President. On June 7, '87, he delivered a speech in Annapolis about U.S.-Russian relations. On September 17, '78, the Camp David Accords were signed. On December 15, '78, diplomatic ties were normalized with the People's Republic of China. On February 1, '79, Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran. On June 18, '79, a strategic arms limitation treaty with the Soviet Union was signed. On December 27, '79, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. On April 7, '80, diplomatic relations with Iran were severed amidst numerous world-shaking events that led to significant changes. These were diaries recorded by the American leader, the ninth resident of the White House, voiced by him and typed by his personal secretary into large files without omission or editing. He did not erase his mistakes or false judgments, even though he was tempted by the idea—as he admits. He personally summarized pages that captured the major global events in which he participated as a President, witnessed, or commented on; including his personal feelings and aspects of his private life.
