Johnson, photographs by Ken Heyman(1966)Inscribed association first edition of this photographic interpretation of Johnson's "Great Society," published while he was still in office - this copy signed to one of his National Security advisors, Harold Saunders.Near fine in very good plus jacket."We have only an instant's sight, a brief illumination, of a country which is not so much a place as a process." Saunders was a member of the National Security Council staff from 1961 through Johnson's tenure as President. He subsequently served as Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs from 1978 to 1981 and was instrumental in both the Camp David Accords and the Iranian hostage crisis.
