MEANS OF ASCENT (LBJ #2)(ISBN=9780679733713)
The second installment in a projected four-volume biography ofLBJ that opened with The Path to Power, Means of Ascent shines aharsh light on the early political years of one of America's mostparadoxical presidents. The man who would later ram civil rightslegislation through a reluctant Congress, and then be brought downby Vietnam, came out of a political swamp--Caro gives a graphicpicture of the Texas democratic political machine at its mostcorrupt. The climax of the book is LBJ's election to the Senate in1948, an election he won by 87 dubious votes out of almost amillion. That vote arguably changed history. This book won the 1990National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography.
