First, his rise to the head of the Senate, his Vice Presidency, his Presidency, the Great Society, Civil Rights, Voting Rights, and finally his downfall, the war in Vietnam. Schulman discusses not only the technical, historical details, but illuminates the unique personality of Johnson that had him both crude and brutish and sensitive and eager for people to like him. The general consensus is that Johnson would have, perhaps, been the greatest President ever (or perhaps second to FDR) if he had only pulled out of Vietnam. Again, this book takes a step above the rest by including with the biographical data primary source documents. It allows for more than the reading of history, but the personal experience and interpretation of it. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
