Editorial Reviews:

This newest edition to the Library of American Biography Series by John L. Bullion introduces students to the dynamic and turbulent life and legacy of President Lyndon B. Johnson. 

Johnson navigated the country through some of the most challenging issues of the 20^th century.  This volume offers a close look at not only how Johnson handled the issues of civil rights, segregation, Vietnam, and an unruly economy, but also demonstrates how these same issues and events wore away Johnson’s once robust idealism.

The titles in the Library of American Biography Series make ideal supplements for American History Survey courses or other courses in American history where figures in history are explored. Paperback, brief, and inexpensive, each interpretative biography in this series focuses on a figure whose actions and ideas significantly influenced the course of American history and national life. At the same time, each biography relates the life of its subject to the broader themes and developments of the times.

Item did not arrive. Nov 30, 2009

We were waiting for over a month for this book and it did not arrive. Seller said it was shipped. Nothing we have ever bought in the U.S. has taken more than a week, maybe two. Item was most probably lost in the mail.
