MY OTHER BOOKS:
Killing LBJ: Lyndon Johnson's Early Demise
Did LBJ's lifelong political wish to become President of the United States become a "Be Careful What You Wish For" moment in his life, when President John Kennedy was assassinated?
​
LBJ inherited several political "hot potatoes": the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War and the expensive, but popular, Kennedy's space race program to put a man on the moon by 1969.
​
From the moment Johnson was sworn in as President in 1963 until he left office in 1969, he was overwhelmed with stress. He died at home in 1973, at age 64.
