Lyndon Johnson and His Times, 1908-1960
From the antiwar movement to Robert Caro's recent book, LBJ has been denounced as        the self-serving villian of American politics. But the truth, as Bancroft        prize-winner Robert Dallek writes in this unequalled account of Johnson's life, was        far more complex--and far more interesting. Based on seven years of research in over        450 manuscript collections and oral histories, as well as numerous personal        interviews, this first book in a monumental two-volume biography portrays the full        richness of this fascinating, contradictory, larger-than-life personality--an        unrivalled master of ruthless, backroom politics who pushed a whole new range of        civil rights and social welfare legislation through Congress. Far from whitewashing        LBJ's actions, Dallek provides new material on his manipulations as well as a new        understanding of his obsession with being on top--even as he shows how Johnson was        both the product of a thoroughly corrupt political environment and truly concerned        throughout his career for the poor and underprivileged. Ranging from LBJ's childhood        through his brilliant reign as Senate majority leader, this book offers an        unrivalled look at the man de Gaulle called America's real face.
