Description
The Years of Lyndon Johnson (Volume 3) by Robert A. Caro is a riveting account of power and politics in twentieth-century America. This Pulitzer Prize-winning biography takes readers through one of the most remarkable periods of US President Lyndon Johnson's life, his twelve years in the United States Senate from 1949 to 1960. During this time, the Senate had become a parody of itself, blocking desperately needed liberal legislation for decades. Caro shows how Johnson's brilliance, charm and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history, passing the first Civil Rights legislation since Reconstruction through his incomparable legislative genius. Johnson's remarkable story is one of political genius and the shaping of America during a pivotal moment in its history.
