A Nation Torn Asunder –
Lyndon Johnson’s tenure in office was one in which the nation was torn by strife. In an effort to bring things back into control, Johnson declared war on poverty to build a “Great Society,” war on civil injustice to quiet the internal unrest, and war on North Vietnam to stabilize America’s influence in Southeast Asia. His diplomacy of “guns and butter” backfired leaving him disillusioned and broken in spirit.
This booklet provides insight into understanding the turbulence of the 1960’s.
