The liberal and the conventional. The deal - making arm twister and the cool communicator. The Tx rancher and the Hollywood superstar. Opposites in politics and style, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan shared a defining impulse: to create forth a grand story of America, a tale where he could be the hero. Inside the tumultuous days following the Kennedy assassination, Johnson and Reagan each, subsequently, seized the chance to offer the country a fresh vision for the future. Bringing to life their stunning personalities and the restless ambiance of America in a radically transformative time, Darman shows how, in promising the impossible, Johnson and Reagan jointly dismantled the long American tradition of consensus politics and ushered in a fresh time of fracture. Background comes to life in Darman's stunning, journey - on - the wall structure storytelling. From Johnson's election in 1964, the greatest popular - vote landslide in American background, to the pivotal 1966 midterms, when Reagan burst forth onto the countrywide stage, Landslide brings alive a country altered - by riots, protests, the climb of tv, and the shattering of consensus - and the two towering personalities whose options in those moments would reverberate through the country for decades to come.
