Fierce Urgency of Now : Lyndon Johnson, Congress, and the Battle for the Great Society, Paperback by Zelizer, Julian E., ISBN 0143128019, ISBN-13 9780143128014, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US "Zelizer takes the full measure of the entire story [of Johnson's liberal agenda] in all its epic sweep. Before Johnson, Kennedy tried and failed to achieve many of these advances. Our practiced understanding is that this was an unprecedented liberal hour in America, a moment, after Kennedy's death, when the seas parted and Johnson could simply stroll through to victory. As Zelizer shows, this view is off-base: in many respects America was even more conservative than it seems now, and Johnson's legislative program faced bitter resistance" .
