Drawing on hours of newly released White House tapes and dozens of interviews with people close to the President, Dallek reveals LBJ as a visionary leader who worked his will on Congress like no chief executive before or since, and also displays the depth of his private anguish as he became increasingly ensnared in Vietnam. Writing in a clear, thoughtful, and evenhanded style, Dallek reveals both the greatness and the tangled complexities of one of the most extravagant characters ever to ascend to the White House.PresidentsUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1961-1963United StatesPolitics and government1963-1969United StatesPolitics and government1969-1974Presidents973.923/092BDallek Robert221514MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962778903321Flawed giant4479667UNINA
