LBJ gets the watered down 1957 Civil Rights bill through the Senate and into law. Outmaneuvers Nixon and the Republicans who were hoping to capitalize on Democratic obstruction to civil rights.

It's 1957 and Democrats need to do something about Civil Rights to hold on to Congress. LBJ is struggling to thread needle between liberals and Southern racists.

LBJ has a heart attack, comes back with "Plan with a Heart", then shamelessly gives the store away to Oil & Gas industry.

What LBJ did to Leland Olds was really shitty. First time reading through the three volumes of his life that I was genuinely angry at him. But a necessary step toward a greater good?

Opens with a fantastic history of the senate. I wish I had read this in high school or college.
