Critical Praise for Irwin Unger
"A careful, comprehensive portrait of a complex figure, a man both eminently practical and deeply principled, who looms large over the middle of our century."–Kirkus Reviews
"Few authors have attempted a one-volume life of the idealistic but controversial Lyndon B. Johnson, and none has succeeded like Irwin Unger.. . . Highly recommended. "–Library Journal
Pulitzer Prize—winning author Irwin Unger and Debi Unger explore the enigmatic and complex Lyndon B. Johnson, as both a public and a private figure–examining his monumental achievements as well as his conflicted and turbulent relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues. LBJ reveals Johnson’s demons as well as his dreams, providing a compelling portrait of this larger-than-life figure. From the hardscrabble life of the Texas hill country to the colorful Lone Star state elections that provided his entrée into national politics to power politics in Washington, this compassionate, insightful biography traces the life, influences, and motivations of the unpredictable, charismatic, and difficult man who occupied the Oval Office during one of the nation’s most tumultuous periods.

From the Back Cover:
Critical Praise for Irwin Unger "[This] is the most thorough, fair-minded, and balanced appraisal of the money question&which has yet been produced&It provides a foundation upon which a coming generation of historians can build increasingly more accurate and plausible interpretations of this crucial period." —The Economist on The Greenback Era: A Social and Political History of American Finance "Sympathetic to its objectives but mindful of its unresolved contradictions, Unger summons us to a necessary reconsideration of how LBJ’s unfinished Great Society defines our current perplexities." —Booklist on The Best of Intentions: The Triumph and Failure of the Great Society under Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon Critical Praise for Irwin and Debi Unger "Along with the familiar sagas of the anti-Vietnam War and civil rights crusades, the authors catch the ferment of the underground press, community action programs, welfare rights militancy, the free speech and sexual freedom movements. Every page brims with relevance to the 1980s." —Publishers Weekly on Turning Point?: 1968
From the Inside Flap:
"?recommended to anyone interested in the life and extraordinary career of the driven, tormented, dynamic and complex man who would probably have become one of the greatest US presidents ever were it not for Vietnam?" (Irish Times (Dublin), 30 November 2002)
