The Path to Power

Author: Robert A. Caro

Caro’s masterful biography of Lyndon Johnson’s early years is a riveting journey through ambition and political maneuvering. With meticulous research and vivid prose, he brings to life the harsh Texas Hill Country that shaped LBJ’s character. I was captivated by the intimate details of Johnson’s relentless drive and complex personality. Caro’s keen insights into the nature of power left me pondering long after I finished the last page. An absolute must-read for history buffs and political junkies alike.

Once he makes up his mind, nothing can stop him.
