Mutual Contempt by Jeff Shesol
Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, and the Feud That Defined a Decade
A tightly argued narrative of the bitter personal and political rivalry between Lyndon B. Johnson and Robert F. Kennedy, tracing how their competing ambitions, conflicting visions on civil rights and Vietnam, and battles for control of the Democratic Party shaped Washington in the 1960s; drawing on archival material and interviews, it shows how their animosity influenced policymaking, public opinion, and the course of a fraught decade marked by turmoil and tragedy.
