Description
The Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson (Volume 4) by Robert A. Caro This is the fourth part of Robert Caro's multi-award-winning work on American President Lyndon Johnson, spanning the years 1958 to 1964. A pivotal period in Johnson's life and American history, this era saw both frustration and triumph. Johnson's battle with the Kennedy brothers over the 1960 Democratic nomination was bitter, but he seized the presidency following Kennedy's assassination, demonstrating unprecedented skill. Caro provides a fresh perspective on Kennedy's assassination from Johnson's viewpoint, offering insight into his assumption of power at a time of national crisis. The book documents Johnson's early presidency, forcing previously abandoned bills through an uncooperative Congress and striving to achieve the highest standard of office. Collectively, these volumes constitute a major history of America in the first three-quarters of the twentieth century.
