Master of the Senate (2002) Signed First Edition Reference

Master of the Senate (Alfred A. Knopf, 2002) is widely regarded as the finest volume in the LBJ series — a dual biography of Lyndon Johnson and the United States Senate, covering Johnson’s rise to Senate majority leader and his passage of the first civil rights legislation since Reconstruction. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the National Book Award, the only time a single volume has won both prizes.
