Master of the Senate, Book Three of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, carries Johnsons story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 to 1960, in the United States Senate.

It was during these years that all Johnsons experiencefrom his Texas Hill Country boyhood to his passionate representation in Congress of his hardscrabble constituents to his tireless construction of a political machinecame to fruition. Caro introduces the story with a dramatic account of the Senate itself: how Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and John C.

And how, by the time Johnson arrived, it had dwindled into a body that merely responded to executive initiatives, all but impervious to the forces of change. Caro anatomizes the genius for political strategy and tactics by which, in an institution that had made the seniority system all-powerful for a century and more, Johnson became Majority Leader after only a single term-the youngest and greatest Senate Leader in our history; how he manipulated the Senates ...
