Political Biography Anyone?
The fourth installment of Robert Caro's monumental, magisterial biography on Lyndon Johnson is set to be released on May 1st. I would expect that this volume, dealing with the Johnson presidency, will be hailed as the greatest one yet - and it's only 736 pages long!
And while we're at it, let's not forget Eisenhower in War and Peace by Jean Edward Smith.
