The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A. Caro’s life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of the Senate takes Johnson’s 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 Johnson’s 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.

評分目前該係列中最喜歡的一本,LBJ在senate中真是如魚得水而且made an impact
評分記得我第一個麵試的interviewer是個POLS major,告訴我她最喜歡的總統是Lyndon B Johnson,那時我隻知道華盛頓林肯剋林頓肯尼迪,想這是誰啊,名不見經傳。其實這個傢夥纔是最美國式的美國總統吧。
