LBJ (4): The Last Believer

The final part of a Timewatch reassessment of Lyndon B Johnson 's US presidency. The Last Believer. As Johnson's term of office drew to a close, riots raged in the inner cities and anti-Vietnam protesters demonstrated all over the country. With the United States as close to anarchy as at any time since the Civil War, Johnson felt he was living in a continuous nightmare. But tonight's programme reveals how those who knew him best still regard him as a great man who almost realised an impossible dream. What he wanted was time to build his 'Great Society' - but time was running out.
