In Landslide, author Jonathan Darman tells the story of two giants of American politics, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan. From 1963 to 1966, these two men—the same age, and driven by the same heroic ambitions—changed American politics forever. From Johnson’s election in 1964, the greatest popular-vote landslide in American history, to the pivotal 1966 midterms, when Reagan burst forth onto the national stage, Landslide brings alive a country transformed—by riots, protests, the rise of television, the shattering of consensus—and the two towering personalities whose choices would reverberate through the country for decades to come. A book signing will follow the program.
