What would LBJ think of "Blood, Money, and Power: How LBJ Killed JFK"? On a more positive note, what would he think of the book series "The Years of Lyndon Johnson"?

I think LBJ would probably be just as pissed off about Blood, Money, and Power: How LBJ Killed JFK? as I was.  It’s just pure garbage.

Now, every volume of Robert Caro’s The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Path To Power, Means of Ascent, and Master of the Senate have been masterpieces, and I have no doubt that Volume 4, The Passage of Power, will be, as well.  However, LBJ was a very sensitive man and Caro’s books are very honest.  Caro spotlights Johnson’s strengths and weaknesses, and I think LBJ would probably have a problem with that.
