The Relentless Climb: Power and Ambition in the Texas Hill Country
"I like this boy Lyndon Johnson. He's one of the most promising young men I've ever met. He reminds me of me." These words from Franklin Roosevelt capture the extraordinary magnetism of a gangly, ambitious Texan who would transform American politics. The story of Lyndon Johnson's rise from poverty to power reveals how ruthless political instincts are forged in the crucible of hardship. His journey from the harsh Texas Hill Country to the corridors of Washington shows not just how one man acquired power, but how that power would eventually reshape America itself. What drives someone to pursue power with such single-minded determination? And at what cost does that ambition come - to the individual and to those around them?
