Haven't read any of the LBJ books, but the Caro book about Robert Moses (
) is amazing. Huge, but amazing. It explains so much of why New York is designed the way it is (usually because that's what Moses wanted to do). And Moses' personal story is a little like King Lear. At 1246 pages, not to pick up if you've got JFF's biceps, but it's very compelling.
