Caro, Robert A. Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson
Alfred A. Knopf Inc 2002 0394528360 / 9780394528366 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Like-new copy of the HUGE/HEAVY book (1,167 pages) - Appears unread. Price inside dustcover: $35.00. Stated "Second Printing Before Publication - Published April 30, 2002" - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A. Caro’s life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of the Senate takes Johnson’s story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson’s brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history and how he used his incomparable legislative genius--seducing both Northern liberals and Southern conservatives--to pass the first Civil Rights legislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detail into a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizing portrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings of legislative power.

Caro, Robert A. Means of Ascent: The Years of Lyndon Johnson
Alfred A. Knopf Inc 1990 0394528352 / 9780394528359 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First Edition. NO writing or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 506 pages - Illustrated with photos Price inside dustcover: $24.95. Robert A. Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson, which began with the greatly acclaimed The Path to Power, also winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, continues — one of the richest, most intensive and most revealing examinations ever undertaken of an American President. In Means of Ascent the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer/historian, chronicler also of Robert Moses in The Power Broker, carries Johnson through his service in World War II and the foundation of his long-concealed fortune and the facts behind the myths he created about it. But the explosive heart of the book is Caro's revelation of the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election, for forty years shrouded in rumor, which Johnson had to win or face certain political death, and which he did win — by "the 87 votes that changed history." Caro makes us witness to a momentous turning point in American politics: the tragic last stand of the old politics versus the new — the politics of issue versus the politics of image, mass manipulation, money and electronic dazzle.

Caro, Robert A. The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Path to Power
Westminister, Maryland, U.S.A. Alfred A Knopf Inc 1983 0394499735 / 9780394499734 Hard Cover Fine Very Good +
Near-new copy of this 882-page LBJ book - Dustcover shows minor wear & has been price clipped - NO remainder marks - January, 1983 printing - Illustrated with photos - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered. In this book, we are brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and the American political process. Means of Ascent, Book Two of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, was a number one national best seller and, like The Path to Power, received the National Book Critics Circle Award.
