Product Description
Synopsis
The only US President to record his private conversations from his first day in office, Lyndon Johnson ordered that the tapes be locked in a vault until at least the year 2023, but they have been unsealed. They provide an intimate view of a President taking power, from the Kennedy assassination to Johnson's campaign for a landslide victory. This edited and annotated transcription by a professional historian is accompanied by historical commentary designed to provide readers with an understanding of the people, the crises and the controversies of the period covered. The tapes offer insights into the ways in which Johnson used power by flattering, provoking and twisting the arms of somes of the dominant personalities of the era, including Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and into his complex, changing relationships with Lady Bird and the rest of his family, with Jacqueline Kennedy, with ex-Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, and with members of the Cabinet and the White House staff.
