ISBN: 9780393060010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is presidential power in its rawest form, revealed alongside the private vulnerabilities of the worlds most public man.\nLyndon B. Johnson secretly recorded 700 hours of telephone conversations as president. With these three volumes, slipcased with audio DVD, the University of Virginias Miller Center of Public Affairs begins a groundbreaking series that will ultimately include annotated transcripts of all of Johnsons White House conversations.\nCovering the dramatic months of November 1963 through January 1964, these volumes depict a man coming to grips with the awesome responsibilities of the presidency while simultaneously trying to lead a nation and a government in mourning. Captured on tape are Johnsons efforts to conciliate the Kennedy family while putting his own imprint on the office. Abroad, he is consumed by a coup in Vietnam, a bloody anti-American riot in Panama, a near civil war in Cyprus, and persistent leaks from within his own administration. Domestically, he pushes forward the civil rights revolution and leads a single-minded drive to reduce the size of the federal budget to gain political room for his war on poverty.\nTexts with audio DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"W.
