註釋Whether admired or reviled, Lyndon B. Johnson and his tumultuous administration embodied the principles and contradictions of his era. Taking advantage of newly released evidence, this second edition incorporates a selection of fresh documents, including transcripts of Johnsons phone conversations and conservative reactions to his leadership, to examine the issues and controversies that grew out of Johnsons presidency and have renewed importance today. The voices of Johnson, his aides, his opponents, and his interpreters address the topics of affirmative action, the United States role in world affairs, civil rights, Vietnam, the Great Society, and the fate of liberal reform. Additional photographs of Johnson in action complement Bruce J. Schulmans rich biographical narrative, and a chronology, an updated bibliographical essay, and new questions for consideration provide pedagogical support.
