Download Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream: The Most Revealing Portrait of a President and Presidential Power Ever Written AudioBook Free
Doris Kearns Goodwin's traditional life of Lyndon Johnson, who presided over the Great Culture, the Vietnam Conflict, and other determining moments in the tumultuous 1960s, is a monument in political biography. As soon as the author, a young woman from Harvard, first experienced President Johnson at a White House boogie in the planting season of 1967, she became fascinated with the person - his identity, his great energy and drive, and his manner of wielding these items in an never-ending pursuit of electric power. As a member of his White House staff, she soon became his personal confidante, and in the years before his death he exposed himself to her as he does to no other. Broadly praised and enormously popular, Lyndon Johnson and the American Fantasy is a work of biography like few others. With uncanny understanding and a richly engrossing style, the author renders LBJ in every his lively, conflicted humanity.
