The Power Broker

The Power Broker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 1974 biography of Robert Moses, "New York City's Master Builder", by Robert Caro. In the years since its publication, and especially since Moses's death in 1981, it has accomplished the neat trick, for a biography, of completely defining its subject. It has become impossible to talk about Moses without dealing with this book.
