What happened when the most powerful nation in the world gave its highest office to a man who came to believe that God was selecting his bombing targets. This examination of Lyndon Johnson, a paranoid manic-depressive, answers that question. Using virtually everything ever written about the president, this book examines what drove him throughout his life and especially during the Vietnam War. Did his bipolar disorder shape his personality? Evidence demonstrates his manic-depression dictated much of his Vietnam policy. This is the type of serious book Lyle Stuart has been associated with throughout his career of publishing best-selling books. It is a highly controversial look at the mental breakdown of President Johnson and is sure to get attention. Publication is planned around election time to get most exposure at a time when we examine our leaders with closer scrutiny. With shocking revelations, this book expands on the LBJ material that has been published.
