Robert A Caro is a brilliant writer. The subject, the years in which Lyndon B Johnson literally gets nowhere, is still somehow a great read.
My minor gripe with this one is that Caro, in his highlighting every bad trait of Lyndon's to the superior moral traits of Stevenson, he dabbles in myth making.

Is Caro, so is masterful. Also, the sections about Landslide Lyndon's stolen election made very interesting reading only 6 months after Trump tried to steal the 2020 election.
I had heard that LBJ stole the 1948 Texas Senate election, but I had no idea about the astonishing (and pretty much irrefutable) details. Unbelievable. What a strange, strange man he was.

The second book to Robert Caro's epic series on LBJ. Shorter than the first, with some overlap, but this book took on a more personal note... especially the senatorial election of 1948 between LBJ and Coke Stevenson. This book may have been a biography to LBJ, but it was also a love note to Coke Stevenson. Highly recommended!
