Jimmy Carter, remembered as both a transformative leader and a tireless advocate for peace, has died at his home in Plains, Georgia. Born the year Vladimir Lenin died, he was the first US president to be born in a hospital and the first to live to 100. His life was remarkable, even for a US president.

He led the country as a member of the Democratic Party from 1977 to 1981, serving just one term in office before being defeated by Republican Ronald Reagan in one of the largest landslides in US history.
