# History News Network Best History Books of 2012

[![he Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/51K92cz2PzL._BO2204203200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-clickTopRight35-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_-300x300.jpg)](http://hnn.us/articles/what-best-history-book-2012)George Mason University’s History News Network has the [best history books of 2012](http://hnn.us/articles/what-best-history-book-2012).  These are all US history, but have a pretty wide range.

The [fourth volume of Robert Caro’s series on Lyndon Johnson](http://www.amazon.com/The-Passage-Power-Lyndon-Johnson/dp/0679405070) is the book of the year, which I have seen on several other best books of the year list.
