These secret passageways were initially designed as a security measure, allowing the President to escape in case of emergencies or threats. They have played a crucial role in safeguarding the President and his family throughout history. Today, although many have been sealed off, a few still exist as a testament to the building's remarkable history.

One such secret room is the Underground Command Center, a fortified bunker hidden beneath the White House. This highly secure facility serves as a safe haven during times of national crisis. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and communication systems, it ensures that the President is always at the heart of the action, even in the direst circumstances.

Another enigmatic space is the Presidential Wine Cellar. This underground chamber houses a collection of remarkable wines, carefully chosen to impress foreign dignitaries and reflect America's finest vineyards. Only a select few have had the privilege of stepping into this cellar and witnessing its exquisite collection.

In , the White House is not just a symbol of power and politics, but a treasure trove of hidden mysteries and secrets. From its secret passageways to its haunted rooms, this iconic residence continues to intrigue and captivate the world. While the public may never have access to all its secrets, it is through exploration and storytelling that we can uncover the fascinating stories that lie beyond the White House.

The president’s personal and passionate account of his twenty-five years in the service of humanitarian effort that won him the Nobel Peace Prize was received with the admiring respect of reviewers and readers and it will stand as the record of his brilliant post-presidential career.

This is the story of President Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency, the most admired and productive in the nation’s history. Through The Carter Center, which he and Rosalynn Carter founded in 1982, he has fought neglected diseases, waged peace in war zones, and built hope among some of the most forgotten and needy people in the world.

Serving in more than seventy nations, Carter has led peacekeeping efforts for Ethiopia, North Korea, Haiti, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Uganda, and Sudan. With his colleagues from The Carter Center, he has monitored more than sixty-five elections in troubled nations, from Palestine to Indonesia.

Carter’s bold initiatives, undertaken with dedicated colleagues, have eliminated, prevented, or cured an array of diseases that have been characterized as “neglected” by the World Health Organization and that afflict tens of millions of people unnecessarily. The Carter Center has taught millions of African families how to increase the production of food grains, and Rosalynn Carter has led a vigorous war against the stigma of mental illness around the world.

“Immersing ourselves among these deprived and suffering people has been a great blessing as it stretched our minds and hearts,” Jimmy Carter writes. “The principles of The Carter Center have been the same ones that should characterize our nation, or any individual. They are the beliefs inherent in all the great world religions, including commitments to peace, justice, freedom, humility, forgiveness or an attempt to find accommodation with potential foes, generosity, human rights or fair treatment of others, protection of the environment, and the alleviation of suffering. This is our agenda for the future.”
