Soft cover. Condition: Good. Reprint. Paperback. Pen mark to edge. Slight browning to spine. The theme that personality and circumstance dominate political life - that govenrment consists primarily of 'not measures, but men' - is the setting for the author;s compelling account of the presidencies of two of the century's most astute politicians. The author explores two tragic ironies of contemporary American politics: why John F. Kennedy, the immensely popular President, could not reach his legislative goals and why Lyndon Johnson, the consummate domestic politician, allowed his great consesus to disappear in the unpopular Vietnamese War. The author provides both an in-depth account of the events and decisions that contributed to the greatest failures of both men, and a glimpse at one of the continuing and most fascinating aspects of political life: the influence of personality on the process of governing. 297 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
