Inhaltsangabe:

An award winning biography of Lyndon B. Johnson. It is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from Texas Hill Country. And, thanks to the narrative gifts of Robert Caro, we are beside Lyndon Johnson eery step of the way-- as he works on a road gang as a teenager, as he stands gangling, awkward, terribly nervous on a wagon bed, begging Hill Country farmers to send him to Congress, as he suffers a heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate and, nonetheless, maneuvers himself into a position of power in Washington by the at of 31. In this riveting book, the first three projected volumes on Johnson's life, we are brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and of the workings of the American political process.
