1968 was an unprecedented year in terms of upheaval on numerous
scales: political, military, economic, social, cultural. In the
United States, perhaps no one was more undone by the events of 1968
than President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Kyle Longley leads his
readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of what Johnson characterized
as the 'year of a continuous nightmare'. Longley explores how LBJ
perceived the most significant events of 1968, including the
Vietnam War, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr and
Robert Kennedy, and the violent Democratic National Convention in
Chicago. His responses to the crises were sometimes effective but
often tragic, and LBJ's refusal to seek re-election underscores his
recognition of the challenges facing the country in 1968. As much a
biography of a single year as it is of LBJ, LBJ's 1968 vividly
captures the tumult that dominated the headlines on a local and
global level.
