Reviews
"The most penetrating, fascinating political biography I have ever read . . . No other President has had a biographer who had such access to his private thoughts." -- The New York Times "Magnificent, brilliant, illuminating...A profound analysis of both the private and the public man." -- Miami Herald "Kearns has made Lyndon Johnson so whole, so understandable that the impact of the book is difficult to describe. It might have been called 'The Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson,' for he comes to seem nothing so much as a figure out of Greek tragedy." -- Houston Chronicle "A fine and shrewd book...Extraordinary...Poignant...The best [biography of LBJ] we have to date." -- Boston Globe "Absorbing and sympathetic, warts and all." -- The Washington Post "A grand and fascinating portrait of a most complicated, haunted, and here appealing man." -- The Village Voice

Synopsis
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 conversations with Johnson, Goodwin paints a rich and complicated portrait of one of our nation's most compelling politicians., Goodwin was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student at Harvard when she was selected to join the White House Fellows, one of America's most prestigious programs for leadership and public service. In the White House she worked directly with the Commander in Chief and swiftly earned his trust, building a relationship that allowed Johnson to share candid insights about his presidency and legacy. While the war in Vietnam has continued to cut Johnson's legacy in two, it is clearer now than it was fifty years ago that his accomplishments in domestic affairs have stood the test of time: the three historic civil rights bills that he steered through Congress-ending segregation in the South, providing the precious right to vote to African Americans, and fair housing-changed the face of our country, as did the host of bipartisan landmark bills that composed the Great Society-including Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start, PBS, NPR, federal aid to education, and immigration reform. From a position of friendship, trust, and respect, Goodwin presents an intimate, compelling portrait of Lyndon Johnson, revealing the thirty-sixth President in all his vibrant, conflicted humanity.
