'Crucial periods in history require regular revisiting. No period in recent American history was more crucial than the 1960s. The contributors to this scintillating volume pair the latest archival research with new perspectives to deliver fresh insight into the presidency of Lyndon Johnson, the man at the center of this pivotal decade.' H. W. Brands, author of The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin 'The essays that constitute LBJ's America are collectively engrossing and brilliantly conceived. The amount of first-rate scholarship rendered by these esteemed scholars is deeply impressive. Historians Mark Lawrence and Mark Updegrove should be congratulated for advancing Great Society studies a giant leap forward with this enlightened edited volume. Highly recommended!' Douglas Brinkley, author of Silent Spring Revolution: John F. Kennedy, Rachel Carson, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and the Great Environmental Awakening 'LBJ's America provides an essential understanding of the profound impact Lyndon Johnson has had on our country. This superb collection of essays by a remarkable array of authors is seamlessly curated by Mark Lawrence and Mark Updegrove. Taken together, the wide-ranging essays provide a distinctive and multi-dimensional portrait of one of the most fascinating and consequential presidents in American history.' Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, author of Leadership: In Turbulent Times 'Each contribution is excellent ... this volume is a good place to start for understanding the contemporary problems Americans face and, hopefully, shall overcome. ... Highly recommended.' A. J. Falk, CHOICE '[The book] collects articles by well-established scholars of the era and the subject matter, and it is expertly organized and edited, providing a comprehensive and well-rounded assessment of Johnson's presidency. Clearly written and coherently constructed, it is accessible to any educated reader, and it belongs in college classrooms that focus on US political history, the presidency, or the 1960s.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware.
