Crazy world of JFK and LBJ leaps from pages.

The thing you need to remember when reading this book- and believe me, you will read it, is that Johnson had trouble dealing with Kennedy becoming president only 6 years after playing a good little Democrat boy in the Senate. Johnson forced Kennedy to play ball and later Kennedy forced Johnson to play ball with him. The book is riviting.
