V. 1. The path to power -- v. 2. Means of ascent.
The path to power - the first of the three volumes that will constitute The Years of Lyndon Johnson - Reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and urge to power that sat LBJ apart. Chronicling the startling early emergence of Johnson's political genius, it follows him from his Texas boyhood through the years of the Depression in the Texas Hill country to his congressional debut.
