Scott's review of Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson,
Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, (Vintage) by Robert A. Caro
Great book; fascinating accounts of the inner workings of the US Senate, even the formation of American Government. Inspired me to pick up and finish a John Adams bio and start reading "Alexander Hamilton." A great read for right now, in an election year. Also made me read The Declaration of Independence for the first time I remember since, I don't know, being 12. So much in here I didn't really know about how/why the Senate was formed, its function over the years, and how that's changed in the time since its formation.
