This is the tale of a young man from the Texas Hill Country who rose to national power despite his desperate poverty. The Path to Power vividly portrays the genesis of Lyndon Johnson's incredible drive, energy, and ambition, which set him apart from his peers. It traces his journey from the Hill Country to Washington during the New Deal era, from his humble beginnings through the hardships of the Great Depression, to his first foray into politics as a Congressman, his devastating loss in his initial bid for the Senate, and his eventual rise to national power at the age of 31.
Through this book, readers are given unprecedented insight into the true nature of political genius and the intricacies of the American political system. Means of Ascent, the second installment in The Years of Lyndon Johnson series, also achieved great success as a national bestseller and was honored with the National Book Critics Circle Award, much like its predecessor, The Path to Power.
