The story

What Is LBJ About?

The premise of LBJ without spoilers.

Lyndon Johnson leveraged his knowledge of congressional procedure to push an ambitious slate of progressive reforms comparable to FDR’s New Deal, achieving major legislative victories. Yet his Great Society vision was eclipsed by the Vietnam conflict; the war’s unpopularity and cost eroded his support and left him isolated within the White House.
