Born on August 27, 1908, in Stonewall, Texas, Johnson emerged as a towering figure in American politics, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's history. Raised in the Texas Hill Country, Johnson experienced the hardships of rural life during his early years. He attended Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University) and worked as a teacher before entering politics. Johnson's political career began in the 1930s when he served as a congressional aide and later won a seat in the House of Representatives in 1937. Known for his political acumen and persuasive skills, Johnson quickly rose through the ranks. He served in the House until 1948, when he successfully ran for the U.S. Senate. Johnson's leadership abilities became evident, and he eventually became the Senate Majority Leader in 1955. During this time, he played a crucial role in advancing key legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In 1960, Johnson sought the Democratic nomination for the presidency but lost to John F. Kennedy. However, Kennedy chose Johnson as his running mate, and together they won the election. Johnson became Vice President in 1961. Tragically, on November 22, 1963, Johnson was sworn in as President aboard Air Force One following Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas. As President, Johnson aimed to continue Kennedy's domestic agenda, which he termed the "Great Society." This ambitious set of programs and policies sought to address poverty, civil rights, and healthcare. Johnson successfully pushed through landmark legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, leaving an enduring impact on civil rights in America. However, Johnson's presidency was also marked by controversy and division, particularly due to the escalation of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The conflict became increasingly unpopular, leading to widespread protests and dissent. In 1968, faced with mounting challenges, Johnson announced that he would not seek re-election. After leaving office in 1969, Johnson retired to his Texas ranch. He passed away on January 22, 1973, leaving behind a complex legacy. While remembered for his domestic achievements, his presidency is also associated with the Vietnam War, illustrating the complexities of leadership during a tumultuous period in American history. Lyndon B. Johnson and His Times Lyndon B. Johnson and His Times by Robert Dallek is a comprehensive and insightful biography that provides a deep dive into the life and legacy of one of America's most complex and influential leaders. Drawing upon extensive research and access to previously unavailable documents, Dallek offers readers a nuanced portrait of Lyndon B. Johnson, tracing his journey from humble beginnings in rural Texas to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C.

Central to Dallek's narrative is Johnson's presidency, which was defined by both remarkable achievements and tragic setbacks. From the passage of landmark civil rights legislation to the escalation of the Vietnam War, Johnson's administration grappled with some of the most pressing issues of the 20th century. Dallek offers a balanced assessment of Johnson's leadership style, his successes and failures, and the complex motivations that drove his decision-making. Lyndon B.

Johnson and the American Dream is a compelling biography that sheds new light on one of America's most enigmatic and influential leaders, offering a fresh perspective on his life, his presidency, and his enduring impact on the course of history. Lyndon Johnson quotes "Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose." "Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time." "I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help - and God's." "The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources – because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples." "Freedom is not enough." "Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity." "The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men." "A president's hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right." "Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it." "There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves."

Caricature of Lady Bird Johnson with her quote - "Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them." Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson (née Taylor; December 22, 1912 – July 11, 2007) was First Lady of the United States (1963–69), as the wife of the 36th President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson. Notably well-educated for a woman of her era, she proved a capable manager and a shrewd investor. After marrying Lyndon B. Johnson in 1934 when he was a political hopeful in Austin, Texas, she used a modest inheritance to bankroll his congressional campaign, and then ran his office while he served in the Navy. She bought a radio station, followed by a TV station, which generated revenues making them millionaires. As First Lady, she broke new ground by interacting directly with Congress, employing her own press secretary, and making a solo electioneering tour. Lady Bird Johnson was a lifelong advocate for beautifying the nation's cities and highways ("Where flowers bloom, so does hope"). The Highway Beautification Act was informally known as Lady Bird's Bill. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest U.S. civilian honors.
