I am usually in the middle of reading either a history or a historical biography. The finest biography I've ever read has been Robert Caro's multi-volume biography of Lyndon Johnson called The Years of Lyndon Johnson. Caro's been writing it since the 70's and he's working on the last volume covering LBJ's presidency now. (I've earlier written about Caro's work here.)
Caro became interested in the topic of power and Lyndon when studying Robert Moses and writing The Power Broker.
I am very excited to learn tonight that an unabridged audio version has just been published, as that is how I find the time to do most of my reading!
