This week we explore $800M phantom teams, presidential career paths, and flying squirrels. From a rural farm to the White House Robert Caro is the Elvis Presley of authors, and his book The Path To Power is no exception. Aiming to uncover how Lyndon B. Johnson climbed to the US presidency, Caro conducted hundreds of interviews, combed through thousands of presidential archives, and even moved to Texas to win the trust of Lyndon’s childhood friends (he also negotiated with the national Parks Service to conduct one of the most critical interviews in Lyndon’s preserved childhood home).
