"This volume of essays is a superb contribution to the growing body of scholarship
on LBJ and his presidency. Lerner, himself one of the country's leading experts on
Johnson, has assembled a first-rate cast of contributors."--Randall B. Woods, author,
LBJ: Architect of American Ambition ; "For all serious scholars and students of Lyndon
Johnson - and given the long-term consequences of Vietnam, the Great Society, and
the 1960s broadly, aren't we all? Lerner's compilation is a must-read to truly understand
the man and his era."--Jeffrey A. Engel, Kruse '52 Founders Professor, Texas A & M
University ; "The one-stop source for the latest historiography on the presidency
of Lyndon B. Johnson. Lerner has assembled a collection of gems by the leading historians
of U.S. domestic and foreign policy during the Johnson era."--Frank Costigliola, University
of Connecticut ; From Vietnam to the Great Society to the Civil Rights reforms, the
Johnson presidency saw a barrage of controversial but important measures that generate
almost as much dispute today as they did when they were enacted. This collection offers
an overview of Lyndon B. Johnson's life, presidency, and legacy, as well as a detailed
look at the central arguments and scholarly debates from his term in office. The essays
examine the traditional understandings of the president's interaction with the major
issues facing America, and the world, in the mid-1960s, while incorporating the dramatic
new interpretations that have resulted from the recent release of around 8,000 phone
conversations and meetings that Johnson secretly recorded as President. A Companion
to Lyndon B. Johnson brings together the emerging historiographical writing on the
36th President of the United States and is the definitive guide to the evolution and
current status of Johnson scholarship. -- Book jacket
