LBJ's America

  • In innumerable ways, we still live in LBJ's America. More than half a century after his death, Lyndon Baines Johnson continues to exert profound influence on American life. This collection skillfully explores his seminal accomplishments—protecting civil rights, fighting poverty, expanding access to medical care, lowering barriers to immigration—as well as his struggles in Vietnam and his difficulty responding to other challenges in an era of declining US influence on the global stage. Sweeping and influential, LBJ's America probes the ways in which the accomplishments, setbacks, controversies and crises of 1963 to 1969 laid the foundations of contemporary America and set the stage for our own era of policy debates, political contention, distrust of government, and hyper-partisanship.

  • Summary

    We live in LBJ’s America. More than any other individual, Lyndon Baines Johnson shaped the era of American history that has played out since the 1960s and established the political and social milieu within which we live. Above all, his legislative accomplishments represent a breathtaking leap forward that profoundly reshaped the nation. LBJ championed transformative bills that extended civil rights to African Americans, Latinos, and other historically marginalized groups, definitively ending the Jim Crow era and opening the way to a more just America true to its founding principles. More broadly, under the banner of the Great Society, he extended the social safety net by creating economic opportunity for impoverished citizens left behind even as the nation experienced a level of prosperity never before seen in human history.

  • Summary

    Wendell Willkie’s One World, published in 1943 at the height of World War II, quickly became a spectacular best seller. A stirring call for a new international order rooted in cooperation and unity, the book captured the aspirations of countless Americans, to say nothing of the wider world, who hoped for something better at the end of all the bloodshed. But Willkie’s vision also appealed because it seemed attainable. During an around-the-world tour, Willkie found governments and peoples eager to submerge their narrow interests within supranational structures that would serve the common good. “It is inescapable that there can be no peace for any part of the world,” wrote Willkie, “unless the foundations of peace are made secure throughout all parts of the world.”
