Reviews
"A stunning bit of political storytelling. [Launching LBJ] gives readers an inside look at the deep sense of duty that carried the country through the hours, days, and months after John F. Kennedy's assassination. Helen O'Donnell, a gifted writer, shows how her father and others in JFK's 'Irish Mafia' steered Vice President Lyndon Johnson into the presidency. It's a fine read for those of us in love with New Frontier history."--CHRIS MATTHEWS, anchor of MSNBC's Hardball and author of Bobby Kennedy: A Raging Spirit
Synopsis
Kenneth O'Donnell was JFK's Chief of Staff, among the group known as Kennedy's "Irish Mafia." O'Donnell was with Jack Kennedy through his entire time in office ... and he was on Air Force One in Dallas, at Jacqueline Kennedy's side, as Lyndon Johnson got sworn in. When John F. Kennedy was assassinated, LBJ asked Ken O'Donnell to stay on and work with him through the first nine months of his administration, to help the country transition and heal, and to help Johnson set his own agenda for his presidency. Although they were political adversaries, they developed a mutually respectful rapport, and Ken helped LBJ find his voice, starting with his work in voting rights and developing the civil rights agenda. Ken O'Donnell was a prolific diarist and note taker, and in Launching LBJ, his daughter Helen, a respected historian and journalist in her own right, takes her father's journals and fills in the gaps to create an unprecedented, inside look at the early days of President Lyndon Johnson's regime., Kenneth O'Donnell was JFK's Chief of Staff, among the group known as Kennedy's "Irish Mafia."

The book purchased, identified in their listing as “Very Good”, was, in fact, “Like New”. The price was very fair. Shipping was slow, but that seems to be true with many things purchased in the internet. If I have a complaint, it is that the seller will not respond to specific questions about a listed item before the purchase..too many orders to do so! 🙁The Beginning or the End: How Hollywood―and America―Learned to Stop Worrying an (#387783000754)
