Robert A. Caro · 2002
Caro on Johnson's mastery of an institution's levers and incentives
Open Library
“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.”Marc Andreessen

T4 The Path to Power
Robert A. Caro · 1982
Open Library
“The first volume of Caro's Lyndon Johnson series, tracing Johnson's origins in the Texas Hill Country to his first Senate race. Collison has spoken about Caro repeatedly — this volume is the foundation, establishing how ruthless ambition and genuine policy conviction can coexist in a single person.”Patrick Collison
