Notes

• "Opposites in almost every way, mortally suspicious of each other at first, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Martin Luther King Jr. were thrust together in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Both men sensed a historic opportunity and began a delicate dance of accommodation that moved them, and the entire nation, toward the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Drawing on a wealth of newly available sources - Johnson’s taped telephone conversations, voluminous FBI wiretap logs, previously secret communications between the FBI and the president - Nick Kotz gives us a narrative, rich in dialogue, that presents this momentous period with immediacy. Judgment Days offers needed perspective on a presidency too often linked solely to the tragedy of Vietnam."–BOOK JACKET
