He has been unfairly treated by past historians but I think everyone's going to come around and more or less agree he was good. Same thing happened to Truman.

Because he saw that NYC sucks, so he made it easier for us Long Islanders to drive to the beaches.

Ya it's a really great read. Really fascinating story, so good I ended up reading the other books from the author about LBJ.

It is a little bit biased, and attributes some things to him he actually just reused from neighboring systems like parkway design.

It undersells the value in having someone who can get things done though I feel.
