Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume III

“Caro's LBJ series is the companion to The Power Broker: it dissects how legislative power is built, traded, and wielded. Andreessen has recommended Caro's work broadly as the best available study of how large institutions actually function versus how they claim to function.”

“The third Johnson volume, covering LBJ's transformation of the Senate from a dysfunctional antebellum relic into a working legislative instrument. For Collison, this is Caro at his best — a detailed case study in institutional change driven by a single relentless operator.”
