by Robert A. Caro

Good for you Tomerobber.

Thanks for reminding me about this . . . I have this . . . it was a freebee from the iTunes store a few years ago . . . and I have all of them. I'm rewatching this now.

I re-watched this again last noc . . . very good series and loaded with lots of info and back material . . definitely a worthy addition to this discussion.

It is a great series

Thanks for this. There is also an FDR series. I'll watch both. Also thanks for the Jefferson video on the landing page. Great resources.

You are welcome G.

I remember the Evans and Novak book as being very informative on how LBJ rose to power in the Senate in the 1950's.

Hi Mark, with two of the books that have no title - we use the link.
