This book was written during the 1976 presidential campaign, but independent of the campaign. It was written to fill in the gaps because so few people knew much about Jimmy Carter, then the governor of a relatively small state. The title comes from a typical poll response; the author reports that in most polls, Carter scored only 1% name recognition, with many of the other respondents asking, "Jimmy who?"

With its associated images of the Iranian hostage crisis, the presidency of Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981 is often regarded as a nadir in modern American national leadership. In this re-evaluation, John Dumbrell looks at Carter's years in the White House from a post-cold war perspective, and argues that Carter was neither incompetent nor lacking in a compassionate vision.
