About
"In this documentary, British journalist Charles Wheeler reveals how Lyndon Johnson misled the American people about the conduct of the Vietnam War, and how this errant act destroyed his political agenda for a "Great Society." Johnson's legislative initiatives included Medicaid, civil rights, guaranteed student loans, and other measures designed to fight poverty and unemployment. In television news clips, we hear him deceive the American public as he plans to escalate the war. When public opinion turns against him, Johnson chooses not to run for reelection, leaving the field open for Republican candidate Richard Nixon. Nixon is elected and immediately begins a methodical dismantling of Johnson's social programs."--Container.
