Non-Fiction History
An engrossing biography of President Lyndon Johnson from the
Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Team of Rivals Hailed by the New York Times as “the most penetrating,
fascinating political biography I have ever read,” Doris
Kearns Goodwin’s extraordinary and insightful book draws
from meticulous research in addition to the author’s time
spent working at the White House from 1967 to 1969. After
Lyndon Johnson’s term ended, Goodwin remained his confidante
and assisted in the preparation of his memoir. In Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream she traces the 36th
president’s life from childhood to his early days in
politics, and from his leadership of the Senate to his
presidency, analyzing his dramatic years in the White House,
including both his historic domestic triumphs and his
failures in Vietnam. Drawn from personal anecdotes and candid conversation with
Johnson, Goodwin paints a rich and complicated portrait of
one of our nation’s most compelling politicians.
