Synopsis

As globalization has deepened in recent years, historians have begun to see that many of the global challenges we face today - energy dependence, epidemic diseases, massive increases in trade and monetary flows, for example - first drew serious attention in the 1960s. This book examines how the Johnson presidency responded to these problems and draws out the lessons for today.
