About this book

Lyndon B. Johnson became president after John F. Kennedy’s assassination in November 1963. In his first State of the Union address, he declared an “unconditional war on poverty,” and his Great Society went on to create Medicare and Medicaid.

This book takes fifteen myths about Johnson, the Great Society and the War on Poverty, and weighs each one against his record and his legacy.
