Transcribing, editing, and explaining the most powerful moments from hundreds of hours of newly released LBJ tapes, Michael Beschloss has added another lasting treasure to the American historical record. Reaching for Glory exposes the inner workings of the Johnson presidency from the summer of 1964 through the summer of 1965.
From behind the scenes, you will hear Johnson pulling the strings of his presidential campaign against Barry Goldwater and pursuing his feud with the new senator Robert Kennedy. He agonizes over Martin Luther King, Jr., and the bloody march on Selma, Alabama, and twists arms on Capitol Hill to pass voting rights, Medicare, and more basic laws than any American president before or since. Above all, you will hear him sending young Americans off to Vietnam while privately insisting that the war can never be won.
Winding Johnson's voice and exclusive excerpts from Lady Bird Johnson's private diaries into a gripping narrative, Michael Beschloss provides context and historical insights, showing how profoundly LBJ changed the presidency and the country. Reaching for Glory allows us to live at Lyndon Johnson's side, day by day, through the dramatic, triumphant, and catastrophic year of a turbulent presidency that continues to affect us all.

Fun, Entertaining, and a Big Hit with Kids!
Format: Hardcover
The FGTeeV book is an absolute win for kids who love humor, adventure, and gaming. From the very first page, it grabs your attention with funny moments, exciting action, and characters kids already know and love. It keeps them laughing while actually wanting to read—which is a huge bonus! The story is fast-paced, easy to follow, and perfect for reluctant readers. The illustrations and playful style make it even more engaging, and it feels just like the fun energy from their videos brought into a book. If you’re looking for a book that gets kids excited about reading, you can’t go wrong with FGTeeV. Highly recommend for elementary-age readers and any FGTeeV fan! 📚🎮

Best one in the series!
Format: Hardcover
My son is 12 and has been watching the FGTeeV family for a long time. He's read all of their books so far and he said this one was the best! He's very excited about the new Campfire book being released this year.

The shoes look very nice. Unfortunately, the shoes have absolutely no cushion. They are very very uncomfortable and if you are wearing them to walk at all, I would suggest a different shoe.

Great book for kids
Format: Paperback
My daughter is a fan of this family on YouTube. She is in first grade and beginning to read chapter books. This style of book has encouraged her to continue reading. She is on her second FGTEEV book And I believe that the pictures with words in that comic book style is an encouragement for her to continue reading. She really enjoys the story and all the bright illustrations.
