Robert A. Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson, which began with the greatly acclaimed The Path to Power, also winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, continues -- one of the richest, most intensive and most revealing examinations ever undertaken of an American President. In Means of Ascent the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer/historian, chronicler also of Robert Moses in The Power Broker, carries Johnson through his service in World War II and the foundation of his long-concealed fortune and the facts behind the myths he created about it. But the explosive heart of the book is Caro's revelation of the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election, for forty years shrouded in rumor, which Johnson had to win or face certain political death, and which he did win -- by "the 87 votes that changed history." Caro makes us witness to a momentous turning point in American politics: the tragic last stand of the old politics versus the new -- the politics of issue versus the politics of image, mass manipulation, money and electronic dazzle.
And at every stage—at college, in the Little Congress, in the big Congress—as soon as he was in the inner circle, he took pains to let everyone know he was on the inside, putting his arm around other insiders, whispering in their ear while ostentatiously looking around as if to make sure no one could overhear, strutting to display not only his power but the fact that he had obtained the power by trickery (查看原文)
The figure for Johnson, which had been reported as 765 on Election Night, was now 965—because, according to testimony that would later be given, someone had, since Election Night, added a loop to the “7” to change it into a “9”. Johnson had 200 more votes. (查看原文)
又听完了一本。幸好历史不只由胜利者书写。LBJ对自己所谓二战经历大言不惭的吹嘘；跌宕起伏的1948年参议员选举；最后竟还是jurisdiction决定了偷来的肮脏胜局。If you do absolutely everything, you will win. 虽然病态到令人有些不齿，但也有几分励志。
格式原因，有乱码。供没时间阅读全书的朋友解馋。 个人阅读方式原因，摘抄内容仅包含书的后半段竞选。但是书的前半部分讲二战部分同样是可圈可点。 Listening to it, Lyndon Johnson learned that among his opponents for the Texas senatorial seat would be “Mr. Texas” h...

从纪录片看出第二部的缘起是因为Caro通过深入调研发现了LBJ的实锤，果然这本是调研驱动，且是关于LBJ生活的一小部分，这导致本书的叙事不如第一本流畅，而且重复较多。另外这本书的另一个问题是刻意诗意化，这在第一本书是非常成功的（特别是关于Hill Country的部分，看完纪录片才知道这是Caro直接在当地住了数年的结果），但在本书却是败笔，对比史蒂文森和LBJ忽略了史蒂文森作为政客的手腕

揭露造假好评，Caro把lbj对手写得太高大上了

2023长10:Caro可能学自政治，即如果你想让读者记住什么，就要一遍遍重复，敲进他们的脑子里，所以书里有些内容就是在变着法子一遍遍讲，但真的很好看。特别心疼林登，虽然他是个自吹自擂、欺负弱小、厌女、撒谎、不择手段、无道德底线、作假的混蛋，但看他为了自己的梦想那么努力、那么痛苦，再对比史蒂文森落败后和新妻子在农庄里过着受人尊敬的幸福生活，就觉得还是林登赢吧。史蒂文森已经找到自己在这个世界上的位置... 2023长10:Caro可能学自政治，即如果你想让读者记住什么，就要一遍遍重复，敲进他们的脑子里，所以书里有些内容就是在变着法子一遍遍讲，但真的很好看。特别心疼林登，虽然他是个自吹自擂、欺负弱小、厌女、撒谎、不择手段、无道德底线、作假的混蛋，但看他为了自己的梦想那么努力、那么痛苦，再对比史蒂文森落败后和新妻子在农庄里过着受人尊敬的幸福生活，就觉得还是林登赢吧。史蒂文森已经找到自己在这个世界上的位置了，他不需要权力来增加自己的自信，但林登不行，他需要外界的肯定来克服内心的恐惧，但你觉得他这一生快乐吗？我怎么觉得他还是那个被乡亲慢待的小孩呢。 (展开)
