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.”

— Jesper Sørensen

Freezing Order

Facing threats and nasty legal tactics from Vladimir Putin and his allies, Browder uses his resources and determination to survive as he pursues freezing orders for assets his team traces to $230 million stolen in Russia and laundered around the globe.

Acquired

Business Wars

“Acquired provides deep dives into stories behind many of today’s largest companies. I’m listening to the six-hour episode on Meta now and learning a lot. Business Wars provides light and entertaining stories about corporate rivalries such as Xbox versus Playstation or Domino’s versus Pizza Hut.”

Wind of Change

“This podcast tries to figure out the truth about rumors that the CIA wrote the Scorpions’ classic power ballad ‘Wind of Change’ as part of its influence operations at the end of the Cold War. It’s a story from another era, when the world seemed to be heading towards peace, democracy, and stability.”
