Download or read book Lyndon Baines Johnson 1908 1973 written by Dwayne A. Bridges and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you ever hope to buy a President Lyndon Johnson signature, or own a Lyndon Johnson photograph, this is the book to own. If Mr. Bridges had done no more than publish the chapter entitled ?Signature Study, ? this book would be a must for ever dealer in presidential autographs and every collector. But that chapter is only 36 pages in a work of 250 pages. The rest of the book has virtues that make it a must for lovers of historical photos, speeches, and letters in general, and of Lyndon Johnson in particular. The first thing you notice about this work is the respect the author has for photographers (people not normally given a great deal of respect). All portraits are conversions between the artist and their sitter. This is true between photographers and their subjects. Look at the spontaneous photo of a young, awkward Lyndon Johnson?taken in 1946 while on the campaign trail?and compare it to the poised, mature Lyndon Johnson in the Senate chamber?taken by Arnold Newman in 1953.

Download or read book Flawed Giant written by Robert Dallek and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lone Star Rising, the first volume in Robert Dallek's biography of LBJ, was hailed as "a triumphant portrait of Lyndon Johnson as rich and oversized and complex as the nation that shaped him." Now, in the final volume, Dallek takes us through Johnson's tumultuous years in the White House, hisunprecedented accomplishments there, and the tragic war that would be his downfall. In these pages Johnson emerges as a character of almost Shakespearean dimensions, a man riddled with contradictions, a man of towering intensity and anguished insecurity, of grandiose ambition and grave self-doubt, a man who was brilliant, crude, intimidating, compassionate, overbearing,driven: "A tornado in pants." Drawing on hundreds of newly released tapes and extensive interviews with those closest to LBJ--including fresh insights from Ladybird and his press secretary Bill Moyers--Dallek takes us behind the scenes to give us a portrait of Johnson that is at once even-handedand completely engrossing. We see Johnson as the visionary leader who worked his will on Congress like no president before or since, enacting a range of crucial legislation, from Medicare, environmental protection, and the establishment of the National Endowment of the Arts and Humanities to themost significant advances in civil rights for black Americans ever achieved. And we see for the first time the depth of Johnson's private anguish as he became increasingly ensnared in Vietnam, a war he did not want to expand and which destroyed his hopes for The Great Society and a second term. Exhaustively researched and gracefully written, Flawed Giant reveals both the greatness and the tangled complexities of one of the most extravagant characters ever to step onto the presidential stage.
