Brokering peace in the Middle East has always been one of his life goals. He came prepared, learned as much as he could about Sadat and Begin, their lives and their goals - and when each of them, separately, prepared to walk away, he used that knowledge to persuade them each to stay. I read the details in Jimmy Carter's autobiography, "A Full Life: Reflections at 90," and it's well worth the read. I got choked up when he told this story.
