LBJ White House Tapes

Saturday, February 7, 2009

In these new calls from 1968, President Johnson defends the bombing of North Vietnam, amid increasing criticism of the war from the public and members of Congress, including some Democratic presidential candidates. You’ll also hear LBJ talk about the presidential campaign, and discuss Vietnam and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia with Republican nominee Richard Nixon. And LBJ Library Senior Archivist Regina Greenwell provides context and background for these conversations.
