À propos de ce contenu audio
The audiobook comes alive with the author’s conversational narration and the rare inclusion of 40 historical soundbites and actual sounds recorded in real time.
What if you got a call from Lyndon Johnson to be in Washington, DC tomorrow to take a trip around the world? If you are 24-year-old broadcast journalist Neal Spelce, you buckle up. A two-week diplomatic dream trip turned into a lifelong roller coaster ride.
From his live reporting during the University of Texas tower mass school shooting tragedy to his lifelong association with LBJ, Spelce found himself behind the scenes in many of the 20th century’s crucial moments.
He tells never-before-revealed stories about six US presidents, including his rare conversation with father/son presidents George Bush, when just the three of them were crowded together fishing in a small bass boat.
The stories about celebrities, politicians, and a few rascals are enlightening, entertaining, sometimes humorous, and always told as if he is confiding in you, as LBJ liked to say, “with the bark off”.
