You mean the truth according to Jimmy Carter? Putting aside the
subjective
nature of "truth", you are wrong that he lost because of his campaign.
He
lost because he was a terrible leader and inept to boot. History will
not
judge his presidency kindly.

Well at least, Carter got a couple of things right, eventhough he couldn't
always influence on or interfere in events, such as the cowardly national
betrayal by Ronald Reagan during the Iran-hostages crisis...

Which betrayal would that be? The hostages were released on Reagan's
inauguration day. Coincidence. I doubt it. The Iranians knew Reagan would
take real action. That is only one demonstration of Carter's weaknesses.

Why were they released on Reagan's inaugrual day? It was because
Reagan's handlers secretly negotiated with the Iranians to WITHHOLD
release of the hostages until then so that Reagan would be elected.
