THE YEARS OF LYNDON JOHSON: THE PATH TO POWER.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1982. xxiii, 882pp. Index. Bibliography. Photographs. Map. Notes. Black cloth with title and author’s name in gilt on the spine. First edition, first printing. INSCRIBED to author and journalist Bryan Woolley, who wrote the review for The Dallas Times Herald. "Smudge" to front paste down and fly, else, a fine copy. Except for slight edgewear, the dust jacket is fine. Numan V. Bartley, University of Georgia: “….Path to Power is an important book. Not only does the volume tell us an enormous amount about Lyndon Johnson, but it also comments perceptively on the politics of both Texas and Washington.” Steve Neal, Fort Worth Star-Telegram: “A landmark in American political biography. Caro has written a Johnson biography that is richer and fuller and will be one of the finest and most revealing studies ever written about a major historical figure.” Path to Power is the first volume of what would be a five-volume biography on Lyndon Baines Johnson. It covers his career from his Depression era boyhood to up to World War II. This is a cornerstone work by an author who has won virtually every major literary award.
