 The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 4: The
Passage of Power 

By Robert A. Caro

Published by Knopf in 2012-Epub 

Description

Book Four of Robert A. Caro’s monumental The Years of
Lyndon Johnson displays all the narrative energy and illuminating insight that led the Times of London to acclaim it as
“one of the truly great political biographies of the modern age. A masterpiece.”

The Passage of
Power follows Lyndon Johnson through both the most frustrating and the most triumphant periods of his career—1958
to1964. It is a time that would see him trade the extraordinary power he had created for himself as Senate Majority
Leader for what became the wretched powerlessness of a Vice President in an administration that disdained and distrusted
him. Yet it was, as well, the time in which the presidency, the goal he had always pursued, would be thrust upon him in
the moment it took an assassin’s bullet to reach its mark.

By 1958, as Johnson began to maneuver for
the presidency, he was known as one of the most brilliant politicians of his time, the greatest Senate Leader in our
history. But the 1960 nomination would go to the young senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy. Caro gives us an
unparalleled account of the machinations behind both the nomination and Kennedy’s decision to offer Johnson the
vice presidency, revealing the extent of Robert Kennedy’s efforts to force Johnson off the ticket. With the
consummate skill of a master storyteller, he exposes the savage animosity between Johnson and Kennedy’s younger
brother, portraying one of America’s great political feuds. Yet Robert Kennedy’s overt contempt for
Johnson was only part of the burden of humiliation and isolation he bore as Vice President. With a singular
understanding of Johnson’s heart and mind, Caro describes what it was like for this mighty politician to find
himself altogether powerless in a world in which power is the crucial commodity.

 For the first time, in
Caro’s breathtakingly vivid narrative, we see the Kennedy assassination through Lyndon Johnson’s eyes. We
watch Johnson step into the presidency, inheriting a staff fiercely loyal to his slain predecessor; a Congress
determined to retain its power over the executive branch; and a nation in shock and mourning. We see how within
weeks—grasping the reins of the presidency with supreme mastery—he propels through Congress essential
legislation that at the time of Kennedy’s death seemed hopelessly logjammed and seizes on a dormant Kennedy
program to create the revolutionary War on Poverty. Caro makes clear how the political genius with which Johnson had
ruled the Senate now enabled him to make the presidency wholly his own. This was without doubt Johnson’s finest
hour, before his aspirations and accomplishments were overshadowed and eroded by the trap of Vietnam.

 In its
exploration of this pivotal period in Johnson’s life—and in the life of the nation—The Passage of
Power is not only the story of how he surmounted unprecedented obstacles in order to fulfill the highest purpose of the
presidency but is, as well, a revelation of both the pragmatic potential in the presidency and what can be accomplished
when the chief executive has the vision and determination to move beyond the pragmatic and initiate programs designed to
transform a nation. It is an epic story told with a depth of detail possible only through the peerless research that
forms the foundation of Robert Caro’s work, confirming Nicholas von Hoffman’s verdict that “Caro has
changed the art of political biography.”
