Ebook About
In Means of Ascent, Book Two of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Robert A. Caro brings alive Lyndon Johnson in his wilderness years.   Here, Johnson’s almost mythic personality—part genius, part behemoth, at once hotly emotional and icily calculating—is seen at its most nakedly ambitious. This multifaceted book carries the President-to-be from the aftermath of his devastating defeat in his 1941 campaign for the Senate-the despair it engendered in him, and the grueling test of his spirit that followed as political doors slammed shut-through his service in World War II (and his artful embellishment of his record) to the foundation of his fortune (and the actual facts behind the myth he created about it).   The culminating drama—the explosive heart of the book—is Caro’s illumination, based on extraordinarily detailed investigation, of one of the great political mysteries of the century. Having immersed himself in Johnson’s life and world, Caro is able to reveal the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election, for years shrouded in rumor, which Johnson was not believed capable of winning, which he “had to” win or face certain political death, and which he did win-by 87 votes, the “87 votes that changed history.”   Telling that epic story “in riveting and eye-opening detail,” Caro returns to the American consciousness a magnificent lost hero. He focuses closely not only on Johnson, whom we see harnessing every last particle of his strategic brilliance and energy, but on Johnson’s “unbeatable” opponent, the beloved former Texas Governor Coke Stevenson, who embodied in his own life the myth of the cowboy knight and was himself a legend for his unfaltering integrity. And ultimately, as the political duel between the two men quickens—carrying with it all the confrontational and moral drama of the perfect Western—Caro makes us witness to a momentous turning point in American politics: the tragic last stand of the old politics versus the new—the politics of issue versus the politics of image, mass manipulation, money and electronic dazzle.

Book Means of Ascent: The Years of Lyndon Johnson II Review :

The book is well documented, but there are a few issues! One is the lumping all south Texas Counties as being the same-not so. Hidalgo and Cameron Counties were very prosperous during the depression era. The agribusiness was economically strong! In the 1940s pistoleros did not room the streets forcing people to go to the polls. It didn’t exist. Mexican Americans did not live in jacales. Substandard housing yes, jacales-no! Truck loads of Mexican citizens were not ferried across the borders! Immigration was much more controlled! Now, Duvall, Jim Wells (Alice), and Starr Counties were a different world. Don’t go there with bad intentions like trying to disrupt the local politics. The lore of the Parr dynasty was legendary even into the 1970s well after my high school years. I always heard about box 13, but this book fills in the gaps from lore to more factual. A few tweaks in an obscure south Texas voting precinct changed the outcome of world history. I can’t understand Caro’s obsession with Coke Stevenson. If you want to romanticize a figure in politics, write a book devoted to that person. Much more could have been written about the Parr's rise to power in a very rural isolated county in Texas! There’s a whole story there!
LBJ was a lackluster congressman, bored and ineffective. A book about his 11 years in the House, and about a crooked race for senator, does not seem to be stuff of gripping narrative. But in the hands of Robert Caro, this is a compelling history that I could not put down.I'll tell you one thing - when you finish this, you'll know why Johnson appointed Abe Fortas to the Supreme Court!
