The Passage of Power | 
pickI read the 3rd book, Master of the Senate, ~15 years ago because I‘d always been interested in how Congress worked (thank you Mr Smith Goes to Washington) and knew Johnson was instrumental in getting a lot accomplished during his tenure. I went back and read the others because I loved Caro‘s engaging writing style and his thorough research. I both love & hate LBJ: A brilliant strong leader…A despicable controlling man! Caro holds nothing back!
Bluebird This book spans the years 1959 to 1964. LBJ goes from the height of his power as Majority leader of the Senate to holding the ineffectual and ridiculed role as JFK‘s VP to being thrust into the Presidency after the assassination. Another fascinating look at this brilliant but flawed man. 2y
