George Will raves about Robert Caro’s Passage to Power, the fourth book in his epic series on Lyndon Johnson, which is finally out this week.
“Samuel Johnson said of Milton’s Paradise Lost that no one ever wished it longer. Not so Caro’s great work, which already fills 3,388 pages. When his fifth volume, treating the Great Society and Vietnam, arrives, readers’ gratitude will be exceeded only by their regret that there will not be a sixth.”
