The White House looks south
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson
by William Edward Leuchtenburg
- 1 Want to read
"Perhaps not southerners in the usual sense, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson each demonstrated a political style and philosophy that helped them influence the South and unite the country in ways that few other presidents have. Combining vivid biography and political insight, William E. Leuchtenburg offers an account of relations between these three presidents and the South while also tracing how the region came to embrace a national perspective without losing its distinctive sense of place."
"At a time when race, class, and gender dominate historical writing, Leuchtenburg argues that place is no less significant. In a period when America is said to be homogenized, he shows that sectional distinctions persist. And in an era when political history is devalued, he demonstrates that government can profoundly affect people's lives and that presidents can be change-makers."--Jacket.
