About This Item
1971. New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston. 1971. 8vo. Original red cloth with dustwrapper; pp. xii + 636, b&w photos, 5 maps including one to rear endpapers, front endpapers with list of laws passed by LBJ; wrapper with slight chipping to top and glassine beginning to peel, otherwise very good indeed. First edition, signed by Lyndon Baines Johnson to gilt bookplate on half-title. This is Johnson's own account of his controversial presidency. "This historic memoir...illuminates the enormous gulf between the simple virtues Johnson the man espoused and the conspiratorial politics Johnson the president employed. Tragedy shadowed his flawed presidency and it hovers over this dignified, self-serving 'perspective' like an old crony" (Kirkus Reviews).
