Many readers call this book one of the finest political biographies of a generation. In the third of a four-part series, award-winning biographer Robert A. Caro follows the life of Lyndon Baines Johnson from 1949 to 1960, the years in which Johnson, one of the most politically talented men Washington has ever seen, consolidated his hold over the US Senate. At the center of this story are both the power-hungry Johnson and the US system itself.
