Beschloss has transcribed and selected the most stunning moments from hundreds of hours of newly-released LBJ Tapes to give us - with commentary and historical context - treasures of permanent interest to historians and readers.
His vendetta against the new Senator Robert Kennedy gathers steam..
On Election Night, he acts to ensure that Americans will not see his victory, the greatest in history, as merely a landslide against Barry Goldwater.
From beyond the scenes, he micromanages his Presidential campaign and defends himself against charges of scandal.
The book provides story after story that shows us Lyndon Johnson unplugged.
He took personal command of the revolution for civil rights, escalated the Vietnam War beyond the point of no return and, in the high summer solstice of the Great Society, passed more monumental laws than any President in history, starting with Medicare.
During these months, LBJ changed America in a way that affects all of our lives today.
The book exposes the inner workings of LBJ\'s Presidency during its most critical stage, from the fall of 1964 through most of 1965.
