Abstract
When one thinks of the president lyndon baines johnson, typically one associates him with the turbulent period we call the 'sixties.' Whether or not his term in office merely coincided with this era is an issue often debated. Nonetheless, his commanding presence has left an indelible mark on history. However, the fact that johnson served as president during the largest commitment of troops to the Vietnam conflict as well as in sight of the birth of modern welfare and other social programs is not coincidental. His initiatives in these areas were largely due to his views on foreign and domestic policies. More specifically, lyndon johnson demonstrated a high idealism in many respects. This attitude that was reflected in his policies truly define johnson as being firm in his convictions; so much so that his leadership strategies were what some may refer to as unilateral and self executed. Unlike some presidents before and after him who relied heavily on the council and direction of their own administration, lyndon's approach was more self guided. This phenomenon came in under the shadow of the JFK assignation and subsequent presidency. With this and numerous other facts in mind, what will be done in this paper is an overview of the johnson presidency. The unilateralism of johnson's "top to bottom" micro management of the Vietnam War as well as his "Great Society" campaign will be examined, as well as the cloud that loomed over his residency in the White House after the JFK tragedy.
