"I consider each of my ... books as studies in political power, how it is acquired, how it is used," Caro said in a statement read by Sonny Mehta, president of Alfred A. Knopf, the author's longtime publishing house. "If you care about political power, every day with LBJ is an eye-opening sort of day."
