Johnson & the Great Society
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the book 'Lyndon B. Johnson and the American Dream' by Doris Kearns Goodwin and how it illustrates Johnson's ideal of a great society, as was defined in one of his greatest speeches. Johnson was a man who held many regrets, as Goodwin so eloquently illustrated, and to a large degree his dream may well have been a failure.
