Résumé
Keenly known for both his triumphs and his failures, Lyndon B. Johnson was one of the most complex and compelling presidents in US history. With engaging storytelling, Quirk paints a rich portrait of Johnson's presidency, celebrating the accomplishments of his… Great Society programs while refusing to shy away from his catastrophic decisions regarding Vietnam and the summer riots of 1967. Larger Than Life presents striking parallels to today's political arena: an outsize character presiding over a divided nation but to different ends. For grades 5-8
