About This Item
Boston: Bedford Books of St. Martin's Press, 1995. Presumed First Edition, First printing [stated]. Trade paperback. Very good. xiv, [2], 269, [1] pages. Illustrations. An LBJ Chronology. Suggestions for Further Reading. Index. Dated inscription from author on fep. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This is one of The Bedford Series in History and Culture. Lyndon B. Johnson and American Liberalism provides a brief yet comprehensive treatment of the major events of Johnson's career but with a central focus on his role as the emblematic figure in the rise and fall of postwar American liberalism. The author includes 15 documents - Johnson's own speeches as well as assessments of the president and his programs by contemporaries and later scholars - that give readers the opportunity to examine LBJ's career firsthand and to evaluate its impact. The book also contains photographs and cartoons from the period. Bruce J. Schulman is the William E. Huntington Professor of History at Boston University. He is the author of three books and editor of five others: From Cotton Belt to Sunbelt (N.Y.: Oxford University Press, 1991); Lyndon B. Johnson and American Liberalism (Boston: Bedford Books of St. Martin's Press, 1994); and The Seventies: The Great Shift in American Culture, Politics, and Society (N.Y.: Free Press, 2001). The New York Times named The Seventies one of its Notable Books of the Year for 2001. An anthology of essays, co-edited with Julian Zelizer, entitled Rightward Bound: Making America Conservative in the 1970s, was published by Harvard University Press in March 2008, and another, The Constitution and Public Policy, by Pennsylvania University Press in 2009. Professor Schulman has appeared as an expert commentator on many television and radio programs and has consulted on productions by the History Channel, PBS, and ABC-News. The American Historical association named him the 2006 recipient of the Nancy Lyman Roelker Award. Schulman also directs the Institute for American Political History at Boston University. The Institute seeks to establish Boston University as a leading center for the study of America's political past.
