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. This may have well had something to do with the fact that the American people never saw him as much more than Kennedy's replacement and Johnson could never fill the shoes of the revered president. No additional sources cited.

the Korean war, unable even to agree who started it. The war was truly unique since it was the only “hot” war of the cold war period directly involving all the superpowers. As a result, it serves as a model through which each of the theories can be
