Landslide: LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America

Thousand. Jonathan Darman revisits the thousand days following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and tracks Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan during that time in his book titled, Landslide: LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America. Both presidents have legacies packed with positive and negative consequences for American life, and one legacy for both involves the myths about them that permeate today’s Democratic and Republican parties. Darman busts some of those myths with his reporting. Darman offers insight into these two dominant personalities, and tells their stories in ways that draw readers into their lives and times. Any reader interested in politics, especially in the last half of the twentieth century, will likely enjoy this book. Rating: Three-star (It’s ok) Click here to purchase Landslide from amazon.com.
