'The greatest biography of our era ... Essential reading for those
who want to comprehend power and politics' The Times Robert A.
Caro's legendary, multi-award-winning biography of US President
Lyndon Johnson is a uniquely riveting and revelatory account of
power, political genius and the shaping of twentieth-century
America. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award,
Master of the Senate takes Johnson's story through one of its most
remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 to 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.
