The Path to Power (1982) Signed First Edition Reference

The Path to Power (Alfred A. Knopf, 1982) is the first volume of Caro’s multi-decade biography of Lyndon Johnson — covering Johnson’s childhood in the Texas Hill Country, his education, his early political career, and his first campaign for Congress. The book established the template for the entire series: exhaustive research, novelistic narrative, and a relentless focus on how power is acquired and wielded.
