The Triumph & Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson

by Joseph A. Califano

This intimate memoir of LBJ is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Johnson's White House years, written by one of his top domestic advisers. "What makes this memoir . . . stand out is its vividness. Johnson leaps out of the pages in all his raw and earthy glory".--The New York Times Book Review. 16 pages of photos.
