Size: 6 1/8 x 9 1/8 x 2; Type: Book 1999/Stated 1st Trade Paperback Edition/1st Printing/754 Pages/B & W Illustrations. This book is the sequel to "Lone Star Rising", the first volume in Robert Dallek's biography of LBJ. Dallek is a New Deal/Great Society liberal, and this viewpoint pervades. He is mostly enthusiastic about the Great Society and civil rights achievements, but scathing about Johnson's handling of Vietnam. The most revealing part is the recital of how Johnson felt forced to back into the war, and to try to do it almost surreptitiously. Reassuringly, Dallek presents Johnson as simply misguided and ill-advised. There is none of that Oliver Stone crap about being a tool of the military-industrial complex. There is some underlining, notes & marginalia within the first fifty pages of the book. Thye pages are clean & crisp, otherwise. One upper corner is folded.
