description: In 1948, Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy, and Richard Nixon were up-and-coming congressmen, all at pivotal points in their lives. In each of these ambitious politicians, Lance Morrow finds a streak of amorality and ruthlessness--each believed that the rules didn't apply to him. For each, lies of one kind or another would be a conduit to power; lies would also undo LBJ and Nixon's presidencies, and tarnish JFK's reputation.
