Means of ascent

I don't know why this one is the lowest scored of the four, it has everything! The story of Coke, Salas, and the drama of the courtroom near the end all added so much to the story. And all at a quarter of the length of the Power Broker, it was a perfect book, I think.

I am told one must read the series to fully appreciate each installment of these books about Lyndon Johnson. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book a great deal, as I find his years in Texas and Congress even more compelling than his years as President.
