Part 4 - The Crisis American History Too!
-
- Society & Culture
It's the fourth installment of our series on Lyndon Johnson's America and we are into crisis mode.
We pick up the story in mid-1967 and discuss how Vietnam, racial violence, and a host of other contentious issues rise to the fore and overwhelm Lyndon Johnson, leading to his eventual withdrawal from office.
Along the way we compare 1967/8 with today's political climate, discuss race riots, Tet, the media, the counterculture, second-wave feminism and much more.
Thanks again for listening.
Cheers,
Mark and Malcolm
