Jon Meacham, "Destiny and Power"

[@robynalbany9496]

Jon is a great historian and I believe he really tries to present history in a way that makes one want to read and learn more about the people and events he writes about. I love these lectures and interviews as they are very insightful for me as an Australian fascinated with US history. Thank you .

You should also mention that it was Lyndon Johnson who pushed and drove the Civil Rights Act and Medicare and the like. He also predicted that it would mean that the South would be lost because of desegration.

Why did GHWB launch the Persian Gulf War? To prove he was "tough," or to be a war President like many, or most, other American presidents? Or do you think there were some geopolitical reasons?

I'd like to hear Meacham's reaction to the revelation of how GHW Bush tried to obstruct justice in the Agnew case.

only under the waterboard.

Meacham never writes on anybody's negative side. They all have one...
