Landslide

LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America

Jonathan Darman

Landslide is a compelling narrative nonfiction book that explores the lives of two American political giants, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan, as they sought to offer the nation a new vision for the future during a transformative time in America. Darman brings to life the vivid personalities and impulses of these two heroes, showing how they dismantled the long-standing tradition of consensus politics and ushered in a new era of fracture. This book offers a richly detailed portrayal of one of the most consequential times in American history, in which Johnson’s triumphs were overshadowed by his paranoia, and Reagan slowly but surely worked his way back into the spotlight. A tale of myths and a nation that believed them, Landslide will immerse readers in the subtleties of politics and political history, unveiling delusions and self-delusions at the highest levels.

@Sifill_LDF Landslide is an important book that almost nobody read closely enough. Theodore Draper’s A Very Thin Line is another.      fuente
