>>I didn't know about this biography and hope that Mr. Caro is still alive and well. Actually, there's more to come. Caro's award-winning book is part of a trilogy. Everyone is waiting for the third book: Synopsis The most important, acclaimed, and galvanizing political biography of our era--which began with The Path to Power--continues in this national bestseller. In Means of Ascent Lyndon Johnson's almost mythic personality is seen at its most nakedly ambitious. The culminating drama--the explosive heart of the book--is Caro's illumination of one of the great political mysteries of the century, the "87 votes that changed history." "Brilliant. No brief review does justice to the drama of the story Caro is telling, which is nothing less than how present-day politics was born." -- Henry F. Graff, Professor of History, Columbia University"Riveting ... explosive... Caro's treatment achieves poetic intensity." -- Paul Gray, Time "Caro has a unique place among American political biographers. He has become, in many ways, the standard by which his fellows are measured. Caro's diligence [and] ambition are phenomenal... a remarkable story... epic." -- Mark Feeney, The Boston Sunday Globe amazon.com
