Kyle Longley
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 listeners 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.
Contains mature themes.

Except receiving the negro vote for 200 years. Just like LBJ said

It was with that bias that I came upon this book. The first few chapters, I had to force myself to keep listening, mainly because of that bias. Throughout the book, I wanted to burst into tears. So many things about which I had no idea. I am glad I stuck around and listened. The narration is good, the facts are spot on, and if you want to gain meaningful insight on a tumultuous time in our history, this book is for you.
I'm Glad I Listened.

The whole recounting of the alleged “treason” of the Nixon campaign and Madame Chennault is ludicrous. Kennedy and Johnson got us in to Vietnam with no concept of a goal or an end game, and by 1968 it was killing nearly 1000 young me a week, but according to this author it was Nixon who prevented peace when LBJ halted the bombing 5 days before the election.
Worst year in my lifetime - LBJ tragedy of his own making - but not according to this Author.
