Should have been my cup of tea being a political bio. Doris is a well known historian now, showing up on talk shows now and then. She must have been getting her feet wet with this one. She has since written books on the Kennedy's, the Roosevelt's and most recently Lincoln. Not sure how different those are from this, but too much time is spent psycho-analyzing Johnson in this one. A lot of decisions he made, Ms. Goodwin takes us back to childhood memories that may have triggered his thoughts. Please, give me a break. If not for that it would have been a good book for me. A lot of stuff on Vietnam and civil rights, and we can't forget ending poverty. Glad we got that done.
Grade - C
next up - A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
