The Master of the Senate is a groundbreaking audiobook that delves into the remarkable story of Lyndon Johnson's 12 years in the United States Senate, from 1949 to 1960.

Caro's unprecedented revelation of how legislative power works in America and how the Senate functions is at the heart of this audiobook.

The book showcases Johnson's political genius as he mastered the Senate, becoming the youngest and greatest Senate leader in American history.

Through a detailed analysis of Johnson's strategies and tactics, Caro demonstrates how he manipulated the Senate's rules and customs to transform it into a whirring legislative machine under his control.
