Robert Caro. *Starred Review* Wedged between LBJ's triumphant Senate career and his
presidency, this fourth volume in Caro's acclaimed Years of Lyndon Johnson
series addresses the failed presidential campaign of 1960, the three frustrating
years as vice president, and the transition between the Kennedy and Johnson
administrations. Though seemingly focused on less compelling material than
Master of the Senate (2002), the book is riveting reading from beginning to end,
perhaps because Caro's real subject is political power, both its waxing and
waning.
Unquestionably, one of the truly big books of the year.--Booklist.
