Reaching for Glory lets us eavesdrop on LBJ's private, often tortured thoughts during the most crucial year of his presidency - when his dreams of being hailed as the equal of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt were destroyed by the war in Vietnam. These original recordings, presented side by side with the stories behind them, offer unprecedented insight into the Johnson presidency.

Great Audio History
Revisado: 07-05-03
A fantastic audio book. The same material on paper wouldn't be nearly as good. It's thrilling to hear Johnson and others as they discuss the great issues of their time.
Beschloss is an excellent guide, as he provides the historical setting for each of Johnson's actual tapes.

In June 2002, the world watched a U.S. Open like no other. The most prestigious golf championship was played, for the first time in history, on a public golf course. Feinstein takes us through every step of the event, from how the players qualified to how pairings were made, from preparing the course to the negotiations between the USGA and NBC. You will meet golf's biggest stars - and come to understand why playing in the Open at Bethpage meant so much to so many.

A Major Disappointment
Revisado: 06-18-03
John Feinstein is a very smart sportswriter, with keen insigths into many issues. And he has an interesting, engaging voice. But I'm sorry to say that, in my opinion, this book was simply terrible.
It sounds like an official history coffeetable book written by a PR hack. Hundreds of people come and go through the book, but there is no drama and few interesting characters.
