Discover the remarkable life of Lyndon B. Johnson... Free BONUS Inside!

Lyndon B. Johnson was a powerful figure in American politics for many decades. Rising to prominence as a congressman and senator in his home state of Texas, he then became the surprise vice-president pick for the young and dashing John F. Kennedy. LBJ certainly cut a far different figure and utilized a much different approach than JFK, but he was just as charismatic (and not to mention cunning) in his own right. When Kennedy was tragically struck down by an assassin's bullet in 1963, Johnson was sure to rise to the occasion.

Johnson's presidency is notable for several landmark domestic policies, collectively known as the "Great Society" programs. These initiatives aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. Key components of the Great Society included the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or national origin; the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented minority groups from exercising their right to vote; and the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provided health insurance to the elderly and the poor.

Despite his significant contributions to domestic policy, Johnson's legacy is complex due to his involvement in the Vietnam War. His decision to send more American troops to Vietnam provoked widespread protests, tarnishing his reputation and ultimately influencing his decision not to pursue a second term. This book follows Lyndon B. Johnson's life from his Texan roots through his impactful yet controversial years as president and beyond.
