The Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, by Robert Caro (Knopf, 2012)
#INLINE-CHART#
The timeline of Caro's bio has reached the point of Johnson's completely divergent impulses—Vietnam and Civil Rights. Caro brilliantly shows how one person can contain complete opposites. The writing is (as always) stunning and exciting. Since I lived through some of this, it was even more compelling.
