The Years Of Lyndon Johnson Vol 3 by Robert A Caro

The Years Of Lyndon Johnson Vol 3 by Robert A Caro

At the heart of part three in Caro's biography of Lyndon Johnson, is its revelation of how legislative power works, how the US Senate works, how Lyndon Johnson on his way to the presidency mastered both and how he used his power to pass the first Civil Rights legislation since 1868.

Book Three in Caro's monumental life of Lyndon Johnson - the most admired and riveting political biography of our era - which began with the bestselling and prize-winning The Path to Power and Means of Ascent

Robert A. Caro graduated from Princeton University, later became a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University, and was for six years an investigative reporter for Newsday. His first book, The Power Broker, won the Pulitzer Prize in biography and the Frances Parkman Prize of the Society of American Historians. Both The Path to Power and Means of Ascent won the National Book Critics Circle Award as the Best Nonfiction Book of the Year. Caro has also won the H. L. Mencken Award, the Carr P. Collins Award from the Texas Institute of Letters, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Caro, who lives in New York City with his wife, has served as President of the Author' Guild of American and as Vice President of PEN.
