Master of the Senate
by Robert Caro
Open: An Autobiography
by Andre Agassi
“Not only is [Master of the Senate] a fascinating history of the U.S. Senate as an institution, but also a masterful analysis of LBJ’s methodical, creative approach to accruing and exercising power. It also provides insight into a person for whom power was the be-all and end-all.
“The first chapter [of Open] is stunning, and the whole book is a fascinating chronicle of a compulsion to win at a sport he hated.”

Acquired
Business Wars
