Transcribing, editing, and explaining the most powerful moments from hundreds of hours of newly released LBJ tapes, Michael Beschloss has added another lasting treasure to the American historical record. Reaching for Glory exposes the inner workings of the Johnson presidency from the summer of 1964 through the summer of 1965.
From behind the scenes, you will hear Johnson pulling the strings of his presidential campaign against Barry Goldwater and pursuing his feud with the new senator Robert Kennedy. He agonizes over Martin Luther King, Jr., and the bloody march on Selma, Alabama, and twists arms on Capitol Hill to pass voting rights, Medicare, and more basic laws than any American president before or since. Above all, you will hear him sending young Americans off to Vietnam while privately insisting that the war can never be won.
Winding Johnson's voice and exclusive excerpts from Lady Bird Johnson's private diaries into a gripping narrative, Michael Beschloss provides context and historical insights, showing how profoundly LBJ changed the presidency and the country. Reaching for Glory allows us to live at Lyndon Johnson's side, day by day, through the dramatic, triumphant, and catastrophic year of a turbulent presidency that continues to affect us all.

Very Nice End Table! Sturdy!
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2, Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2
These are great tables, especially to use along side a recliner and couch. They're easy to put together. Follow the directions! Everything you need is in there including the screwdriver!! Lay it on its side on the floor when your building it, tighten all the tabs a half turn and did I mention?... never use power tools when building small furniture like this. once they're done, you'll love them... there's a nice drawer to keep things in -- remotes, etc It's pretty, sturdy, I bet will last a long time. ♡

Nice Side Table
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1
This is a nice side table. The assembly hardware is of good quality. The wood product finishes are very nice and the pieces assemble solidly. The instructions are easy to follow except for the drawer slides where a little more concentration is needed . . . or maybe it’s just me.

Nice and sturdy side table but the white is not white
Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2, Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2
This is a nice-looking and sturdy side table. We found it easy to assemble. It works well in small spaces. Be sure to check the dimensions so you aren’t surprised by how narrow and long it is. The drawer is small, but big enough to hold some remotes or other small items. We ordered the white with brown top. Unfortunately, it definitely is not white but more of an ivory or cream color.
