The truths about LBJ

The research necessary to uncover one of the most enigmatic leaders of my generation is displayed in this biography. As an historian I am cognizant that many authors skip the drudgery of accurate research. Robert Caro has dedicated an entire career to this work, going so far as to move his family to the Texas Hill Country for three years in order to become one with the peers and neighbors of Lyndon Johnson. In this way he was able to expose both the myths and the truths about the legend of LBJ. He also prefaces his narrative with a close examination of the region and geneaology that produced this most ambitious and ruthless politician. The volume is an expose for all Americans to learn from.Read full review

Simply a superb biography

The best biography I have ever read. The author has obviously done his homework! The content is compelling reading about a man I met once briefly while he was recovering from a heart attack. I did not have a very good impression and obviously the author does not either. The early life of LBJ depicts a man who was obviously a leader from his first steps.Read full review
