An honest first hand opinion of LBJ

I'm a student of Bullion and I found his book just as captivating as his lectures. The book is a very telling personal account of exactly how LBJ was. This book is by no means an autobiography of Johnson. However it does go into detail regarding Bullion's personal encounters with LBJ and his father's professional relationship with the former president. I enjoyed the detailed accounts of Bullion spending time at the LBJ ranch and getting to know the wildlife there. I especially liked the way the Bullion described Johnson's physcial prowess and how Johnson used it against his friends and opponents. This naked account of Johnson by no means glorifies his stay in office nor his rise to power.
