the power broker: robert moses and the fall of new york
first edition, 1974.
in 1,336 pages, caro unravels the life of the indefatigable robert moses, whose shadow loomed large over the construction and politics of 20th-century new york city.
moses wielded immense power, orchestrating vast urban projects that shaped the metropolis—bridges, highways, and public works—often at the expense of the very communities he professed to serve. caro's account reveals not only the ruthless ambition of a man and the workings of power, untouched by the "common checks" of democracy. a pulitzer prize winner.
