ストーリー
Goodwin describes the broken friendship between Teddy Roosevelt and his chosen successor, William Howard Taft. With the help of the "muckraking" press, Roosevelt had wielded the Bully Pulpit to challenge and triumph over abusive monopolies, political bosses, and corrupting money brokers. Roosevelt led a revolution that he bequeathed to Taft only to see it compromised as Taft surrendered to money men and big business. The rupture led Roosevelt to run against Taft for president, an ultimately futile race that gave power away to the Democrats.

Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. Jackson's election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad.

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

Master of the Senate carries Lyndon Johnson's story through one of its most remarkable periods: his 12 years, from 1949 to 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson's brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history.

Ronald Reagan today is a conservative icon, celebrated for transforming the American domestic agenda and playing a crucial part in ending communism in the Soviet Union. In his masterful new biography, H. W. Brands argues that Reagan, along with FDR, was the most consequential president of the 20th century. Reagan took office at a time when the public sector, after a half century of New Deal liberalism, was widely perceived as bloated and inefficient, an impediment to personal liberty.

ストーリー
Between 1929 and 1945, two great travails were visited upon the American people: the Great Depression and World War II. This Pulitzer Prize–winning history tells the story of how Americans endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of those unprecedented calamities. The Depression was both a disaster and an opportunity. As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates, the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s.
あらすじ・解説
Doris Kearns Goodwin's classic life of Lyndon Johnson, who presided over the Great Society, the Vietnam War, and other defining moments in the tumultuous 1960s, is a monument in political biography. From the moment the author, then a young woman from Harvard, first encountered President Johnson at a White House dance in the spring of 1967, she became fascinated by the man - his character, his enormous energy and drive, and his manner of wielding these gifts in an endless pursuit of power. As a member of his White House staff, she soon became his personal confidante, and in the years before his death he revealed himself to her as he did to no other.
Widely praised and enormously popular, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream is a work of biography like few others. With uncanny insight and a richly engrossing style, the author renders LBJ in all his vibrant, conflicted humanity.

Unfortunately simple slant.
Ms. Goodwin is a wonderful writer. This book suffers from her viewing the life of LBJ through a purely psychological lens. I simply couldn't listen very long because everything discussed was related back to LBJ's need for acceptance, based (in the author's view) on his early yearning for his mother's love.
For those interested in this very interesting man, take the time to read Robert Caro's four volumes.

Not her best
I have enjoyed Ms. Goodwin's books, but this one was disappointing--surprising since she worked with President Johnson during and after his White House years. The writing seems unedited, and wanders off into speculative psychology and narratives about the political system in general. It certainly does not live up to its superlative subtitle, nor does it directly address Johnson's role in shaping the American Dream.

Absorbing
A number of years ago, I read Robert A. Caro’s four volume biography about Lyndon Baines Johnson. After reading Caro’s books I felt as if I had a fairly good understanding of Johnson. This biography of Johnson is obviously biased. Doris Kearns Goodwin was a Ph.D. intern in the Johnson White House. He chose her to write his biography. Apparently, Goodwin found that in the year prior to his death, Johnson revealed more about himself to her than any other person. The book is much different from Caro’s work in that it is more personal and reveals more about his personal conflicts and insecurities. The book is well written and meticulously researched. Goodwin is a master storyteller; so, she brings Johnson to life in this biography. I think both Caro and Goodwin came to the same conclusion about the man, but Goodwin’s is a gentler viewpoint. Johnson was a complex man yet Goodwin manages to capture the private person. This book is well worth the read; and if you were only going to read one book about Johnson, this one would be it. The book is seventeen hours and one minute. There are two narrators of this book. Gabra Zackman who did the narration and Jim Frangione who did Johnson. I found this method of narration quite interesting.

Disappointing for a DKG book
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I love DKG. I just finished listening to 'The Bully Pullpit' and gave that book an awesome review. Over the years I have read nearly all of her stuff, and she remains one of my favorite historians. But the tone and format of this book are significantly different than her other works. I suspect this is because she knew the subject personally, and most of the book is constructed from her personal interviews with LBJ.Basically, the book is a plain chronology of his life from birth onwards. It is a retelling of his stories as provided to the author. It includes some of DKG's reflections on LBJ, but it is lacking the amazing diversions and tangents most of her work tackles. Usually you can read one of her books to learn about the subject, as well as the time period. But this book does very little to emotionally portray the era of the subject.And I dont know if its the subject himself or the way the author present him, but LBJ is NOT a character with whom you stay interested; there is no urge to read on and learn what happens; the reader builds no emotional investment in LBJ. This is a stark difference from Taft, who I was so eager to learn what happened with him and TR. With LBJ, I basically felt that I learned he was an insecure jerk, and then it was simply a matter of laying out all the evidence year after year. After about 5 hours of listening to the audio book, I could bear no more. I was heartbroken to write such a poor review for an author I truly love and admire. Regardless, if her next books is of a dead president she did not personally know, I will eagerly buy and devour it!
Has Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, DKG is a master and I think this poor book is because she personally knew the subject.

incredible insight, hopelessly biased
the author had nearly unfettered access to this legondary President, learned how to manipulate his ego and used this to great advantage in this work. unfortunately, she could not set aside her deeply held personal biases in telling this story and that perspective permiates the work to the point where one begins to question credibility. she conveniently set aside future actual events that substantiated the President's opinions to avoid undermining her own views. all in all worth the time to read.

I chose this book because of the author. She does a great job. She was also close to LBJ in a way she could really know him. I read ladybird Johnson's book on the White House years. It was good to compare the two.

She got better
I truly enjoy Doris Kearns Goodwin's histories. This was her first and certainly not her best. Her personal insights into LBJ were outstanding and interesting. Her divergence into pop psychology analysis was not.
