This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered. In this book, we are brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and the American political process. Means of Ascent, Book Two of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, was a number one national best seller and, like The Path to Power, received the National Book Critics Circle Award. "Powerful and stirring. A monumental political saga...It's an overwhelming experience to read The Path to Power." -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times "Stands at the pinnacle of the biographical art." -- Donald Morris, Houston Post "By every measure -- depth of research, brilliance of conception, the seamless flow of the prose -- The Path to Power is a masterpiece of biography." -- Dan Cryer, Newsday "A superb and unique biography...Meticulous in research, grand in scale, this is a major work that will remain a tower of its kind." -- Barbara Tuchman "An awesome achievement! Not only a historical but a literary event...An epic biography...What brings Caro's story -- and it is a story -- to life is his astonishing concern for the humanity of his characters: the plight of a Hill Country family; the reserve of Lady Bird Johnson; the lonely integrity of Sam Rayburn." -- Peter Prescott, Newsweek

看过Caro超过千页的The Power Broker,本来以为自己能够预期其优点和缺点,但没想到本书精彩程度远超想象。作者本人的文笔流畅、内容详实等优点本书有所提升,而太过拘泥细节、追求立意等缺点则大幅收敛(但依然有一些)。整本书近800页,主题又有诸多本该无趣的细节(德克萨斯...
評分对于中国人来说,林登 约翰逊这个名字似乎常常只是约翰 肯尼迪历史记忆的附带品,是的,从历史书上我们记住的似乎就只是肯尼迪遇刺后,此君接任美国总统之位,然后大家的记忆就跳到打开中美关系之门的尼克松上面去了。 林登约翰逊的经历就这么无聊?他总统任上的历史就这么平淡...
