Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream
Doris Kearns Goodwin's LYNDON JOHNSON AND THE AMERICAN DREAM is one of the most insightful studies of Lyndon Johnson written during his lifetime. Doris Kearns was just out of Harvard when she joined President Johnson’s staff, after having met him at a party. She soon became his confidante, and LBJ let his guard down, talking to her at length and generously revealing his personal life as well as his sense of his role in history. Building on that huge amount of talk, as well as other research, Goodwin put together what is considered one of the best psychological portraits of a man who seemed arrogant, manipulative and sometimes crude--which she shows he was. She also shows Johnson to have been a common man with a great sense of purpose but who, because he could not communicate that vision to America, was wounded by history and others’ views of him.
