Another insightful book for an inside scoop on the Lyndon Johnson White House. He was a true deal maker and an arm wrangler. It is amazing what he accomplished in the area of civil rights and education, but unfortunately is stained by his failed Vietnam policy. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Taking Charge, edited by Michael R. Beschloss, whom Newsweek has called America's leading presidential historian, brings you into the room with an American political legend, still hated and revered a quarter century after his death. We hear Lyndon Johnson as he schemes and blusters, rewards and punishes, tells tales of Washington, D.C., and Texas, and reveals a bedrock core of unshakable political beliefs. The only President to record his private conversations from his first day in office, LBJ ordered the tapes to be locked in a vault until at least the year 2023. But now they have been unsealed, providing a close-up look at a President taking power such as we have never had before-- from John F. Kennedy's murder in November 1963 to Johnson's campaign for a landslide victory. Taking Charge is filled with revelations about the full-blooded Texan behind the public image. You will hear LBJ: revealing his self-doubts and personal anguish over the responsibilities of the presidency receiving the frank criticism of his wife, Lady Bird Johnson staking his presidency on a revolutionary civil rights bill scuttling Robert Kennedy's drive to be his Vice President using the Tonkin Gulf attack to expand the American beachhead in Southeast Asia unveiling his private, tortured early doubts that we could ever win a war in Vietnam An extraordinary audiobook, Taking Charge gives us an uprecidented look into a crucial presidency that continues to shape our lives today. In LBJ's own words, it is history with the bark off. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
