Title: Great Society Author: Amity Shlaes Narrator: Terence Aselford Format: mp3 Length: 17 hrs and 45 mins Release date: 11-19-19 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 385 ratings Genres: Poverty & Homelessness Publisher's Summary: In Great Society, Shlaes offers a powerful companion to her legendary history of the 1930s, The Forgotten Man, and shows that in fact there was scant difference between two presidents we consider opposites: Johnson and Nixon. Just as technocratic military planning by "the Best and the Brightest" made failure in Vietnam inevitable, so planning by a team of the domestic best and brightest guaranteed fiasco at home. At once history and biography, Great Society sketches moving portraits of the characters in this transformative period.
