What a piece of sh*tbird garbage...
Thanks, I will do some research on it. I’d never heard it before.
Caro’s first two volumes of his five part biography of Johnson are well worth reading to understand the man and the times.
I couldn’t stand Johnson at the time, but ten years ago I picked up the first two volumes as a remainder sale at the book store just to see how Caro treats him.
The first volume details Johnsons dirt poor background from dirt poor rural Texas and how the New Deal setting was ideal for his rise in the House. It shows him with some sympathy from what he came from. However, in the second volume we get a real good start into the thousands of ways he was corrupt. Caro pulls few punches.
Roger Stone has a new book out claiming Johnson took out JFK. Stone was a Nixon aide and strategist as a young fellow. Nixon told him some things that left him convinced Johnson did it and he has put together a book that is very interesting. Roger Stone was a Republican campaign and administration insider with three Presidents — not a pundit.
