Book, LaFeber, Walter, The Deadly Bet: LBJ, Vietnam, and the 1968 Election, 2005
Lyndon B. Johnson made a life or death bet during his presidential term - and lost. While fighting an extended war against a determined foe, he gambled that American society could also endure a vast array of domestic reforms. The result was the turmoil of the 1968 presidential election, a crisis more severe than any since the Civil War.
