Doris knows LBJ
5 stars
She knows him inside and out. It is unique in my experience for a historian to have as much exposure to their subject as she had with LBJ. This text tells the whole tale from the Hill country of Texas to the White House and back. After the tale is told, Doris takes us on a tour of her conclusions which are razor Sharp and as applicable today in 2026 as any, I have read, especially useful, are her conclusions about the power of the presidency and how the human beings who occupy that office influence its role in the world.
