Building the Great Society: Inside Lyndon Johnson's White House

by Joshua Zeitz

Book Overview

Lyndon B. Johnson's (LBJ) towering political skills and his ambitious slate of liberal legislation are the stuff of legend in America: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start, and environmental reform. But what happened after the bills passed? One man could not and did not go it alone.
