Reviews
A parody on the then-ubiquitous little red book of Chairman Mao's quotations. It's actually a bit surprising that most of the quotations here are so tame and mundane. LBJ was known as a blunt cuss who wouldn't hesitate to ream out somebody's ass when needed (or even not needed). There are a few quotes that are interesting, funny, or somehow typical of LBJ's blunt crudity. It may be a sign of the times that this book is as bland as it mostly is. Or it may be that Simon and Schuster didn't show more have the balls to venture into the realms of political humor and dissent being so successfully mined by the less-mainstream publishers. show less
This book was published privately but consists largely of the public papers of Johnson giving his views and intent on the war on poverty. In the introduction the editor explains that Johnson had just turned down the chance to run for another term. There is tragedy in this book in that Vietnam partially destroyed this legacy, and poverty is not only with us today but is worse. But how much worse would it be if it had not been for Johnson's work. An important compilation.
