Channel: US National Archives
Date: 25/05/2021

In his book, In the Arena, Chuck Robb offers a political memoir of his extraordinary life. He traces his path from his early days as an anonymous Marine to his fairytale wedding to Lynda Bird Johnson, the daughter of President Lyndon Johnson. Shortly thereafter, he was deployed to Vietnam where he commanded India Company of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Regiment. A career in politics soon followed and he discusses his engagements in Democratic politics in the Virginia state capitol and U.S. Senate, as well as experiencing personal highs and lows to becoming a principled fighter and exemplar of today’s moderate Democrat. Joining Chuck Robb in discussion will be presidential historian Michael Beschloss.
