Hardback. Condition: Very Good. More than thirty years ago, John Roche, former special assistant to President Johnson, wrote that no historically valid treatment of the Johnson years would emerge for decades. The problem, he insisted, was the scarcity of primary-source evidence. Objective analysis of the Johnson presidency would have to include material from the Johnson library as well as from the Johnson participants themselves. Nearly three decades later, Thomas W.

Drawn from a myriad of perspectives, this volume paints a vivid portrait of Lyndon Johnson and his programs-- a fitting tribute to and remembrance of our nation's 36th President.…
