After more than three decades of public service, Lyndon Baines Johnson became, amid the tragedy of his predecessor's assassination, the thirty-sixth President of the United States. He took office with masterful firmness, calming a shaken nation, preserving the continuity of government, and prodding the Congress into the passage of an extraordinary program of legislation. He passed into law four major civil rights measures, inaugurated a program that lifted more than 12 million Americans out of poverty, allocated increased funds and other resources for education, and established a federal health insurance program, along with other achievements. It's all here in his highly personal and frank book. Very collectible signed first edition. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical, vintage book dealer in business since 1991.
