The Path ì to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the ì almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. ì It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from ì his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as ì Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the ì Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the ì national power for which he hungered. In this book, we are ì brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of ì political genius and the American political process.
