What happened to the third volume of Robert Caro's biography of LBJ? The first two volumes, "Path To Power" and "Means Of Ascent" were the best biographies I've ever read. The last one was published about 10 years ago so WHERE is the third volume? If you have any info on this, please post it here.

I have both books too. I Looked, as you did for the third. I think what Caro found out made him sick and he stopped writing no.3.

I too have been wondering about Robert Caro's 3rd volume on Johnson. I saw him on some cable show a year or so ago so I guess he is still alive. I wish he would finish it, the first 2 were riveting.

I read sometime ago that Robert Caro delayed publication of the third volume because official documents had recently been released that hadn't been available when he was doing research for the final book. He wanted to see the newly released documents before publication.

I only read Path to Power - it left me so disgusted that I couldn't bear to read more about LBJ's corruption.
