MASTER OF THE SENATE: YEARS of LYNDON JOHNSON by CARO; 1949-60 Biog (2002

Description: Msftedit 5.41.21.2510; You are considering a hardback book, without DJ MASTER OF THE SENATE: THE YEARS OF LYNDON JOHNSON by Robert A. Caro; PUBLISHER: Alfred A. Knopf, NY; a 2002 copyright, not a first printing; 1167 pages. The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A. Caros life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of the Senate takes Johnsons story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnsons brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history and how he used his incomparable legislative genius--seducing both Northern liberals and Southern conservatives--to pass the first Civil Rights legislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detail into a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizing portrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings of legislative power.
