Lyndon Johnson's secretly recorded tapes offer us the only
chance we are ever likely to have to eavesdrop on an
American President from his first moments in office until
the end. This universally acclaimed volume captures LBJ's
private passions and bedrock beliefs as he takes command
after John Kennedy's assassination; makes his first fateful
decisions on civil rights, poverty, and Vietnam; and runs
against Barry Goldwater for President. Michael Beschloss's
observations and annotations enhance our understanding of
Johnson, his era, and his lasting impact on American
politics and culture.
