This book was published privately but consists largely of the public papers of Johnson giving his views and intent on the war on poverty. In the introduction the editor explains that Johnson had just turned down the chance to run for another term.

But how much worse would it be if it had not been for Johnson's work. An important compilation.

Or it may be that Simon and Schuster didn't have the balls to venture into the realms of political humor and dissent being so successfully mined by the less-mainstream publishers.… (más)
