to the era that he helped make so angry and turbulent...Flawed
Giant captures in unforgiving detail a president whose flaws were
tragically larger than life."--Chicago Tribune
"Dallek lets Johnson speak for himself, and no writer could create
a more colorful, entertaining, inspiring, eccentric, or troubling
character."--The Boston Sunday Globe

fascinating man, Dallek shows not only his failures and his
excesses but also his gargantuan accomplishments and subtle mind.
Here is a Johnson without tears or cheers but in a clear, steady
light."--Washington Post Book World
"An historical biographical tour de force."--Richmond
Times-Dispatch
"Poised, scholarly, and readable."--The New Yorker
