I started to like it. Even though the biographer chooses which quotes he wants to use, he doesn't choose the words or the emotions. Therefore, I believe this book carries an accurate account of who Lyndon Johnson was. I found myself liking the raw reality of the man but, not until the very end did I really believe that he was an all-out democrat who actually cared a great deal about social justice for all Americans. Yes, he taught and enjoyed little Latino kids in south Texas and yes, he rammed through two Civil Rights bills at propitious moments in his presidency but my impression was that the bills were more about aggrandizement than deep-rooted belief. His speech and rebuttal at his library in December 1972 made me a believer. (
