Reaching for Glory lets us eavesdrop on LBJ's private, often
tortured thoughts during the most crucial year of his presidency -- when
his dreams of being hailed as the equal of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin
Roosevelt were destroyed by the war in Vietnam.
As Reaching for Glory opens, LBJ is campaigning for the greatest
presidential landslide in history. To win, he hands embarrassing secrets
about Barry Goldwater to friendly reporters. When Johnson's closest aide
is arrested in a sex scandal, he tries to keep it from exploding before
the election.
