Book Description

September 1, 2001
When Waddy Bullion refers to his experience working for LBJ as a tax attorney and business advisor, he calls it "being in the boat." LBJ was the captain; the crew either met his standards for effort and excellence or they got out.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Bullion's approach transcends academic history and adds revealing, personal rememberances of the life of an important Texan. This memior is a valuable resource that should be added to the growing list of historical and bibliographical works on LBJ. Reccommended for all libraries... (Dale Farris Review Of Texas Books )

Lyndon Johnson was famous for being a larger-than-life figure who dominated everyone and everything in sight. John L. Bullion, the son of Johnsonís long-time attorney tells the fascinating story of his familyís long relationship with the thirty-sixth president. . . . A gratifying and enjoyable read. (Steven Watts )

4.0 out of 5 stars An honest first hand opinion of LBJ, December 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: In The Boat With LBJ (Paperback)
I'm a student of Bullion and I found his book just as captivating as his lectures. The book is a very telling personal account of exactly how LBJ was. This book is by no means an autobiography of Johnson. However it does go into detail regarding Bullion's personal encounters with LBJ and his father's professional relationship with the former president. I enjoyed the detailed accounts of Bullion spending time at the LBJ ranch and getting to know the wildlife there. I especially liked the way the Bullion described Johnson's physcial prowess and how Johnson used it against his friends and opponents. This naked account of Johnson by no means glorifies his stay in office nor his rise to power.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT ACTUAL INFORMATION, December 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: In The Boat With LBJ (Paperback)
I am a student of Bullion's and I read this book as a part of his lecture. I felt that this book in no way conveys any real information on LBJ but more on what Bullion's mother thought about him. Bullion spends more time talkinga about his grandfathers store and listening to the radio with his other grandfather than he does actually talking about LBJ. This book should be entitled "In the Boat with Bullion"
