"It was hard to get through the book. Lyndon Johnson is not very entertaining, but Goodwin does a great job outlining his presidency. Left with a little different view of Johnson, maybe Vietnam was not all his fault."
"Anyone with questions regarding the character, mind, mindsets, motives of Lyndon Johnson should find answers in this awesome and baffling book. Correction - it is not the book that is baffling. Not at all. It is the subject, Lyndon Baines Johnson. While she still was Doris Kearns, this extraordinarily gifted student/researcher./author produced, "Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream," (1967). Kearns had interviews and conversations with LBJ which are not equaled by any presidential biographer. At the LBJ ranch, at 5:30 a.m., in his pajamas and robe, with hair disheveled, Lyndon Johnson often sat in Kearns' bed and talked while she took notes in a chair by the bedroom window. Kearns had additional, extraordinary opportunities to observe the President. While he still was in the White House, she had a small office only two doors away from the Oval Office. Doris Kearns produced a timeless, fascinating, unmatched chronicle. Still, Lyndon Johnson remains baffling."
"Goodwin analyzes the conflicting relationships Lyndon Johnson had with each of his parents and how those formed his psyche. She explains that his talents and needs formed his understanding of the institutions in which he worked, from student jobs to national politics, and why he was a genius in the Senate but not so well suited to the Presidency. He was a fascinating, likable, difficult, and in some ways tragic person."
