Caro The Power Broker Robert Moses and the Fall of New York Robert Caro's monumental, Pulitzer Prize–winning portrait of Robert Moses — and how one unelected man shaped, and mis-shaped, twentieth-century New York. By Robert A. Caro · Vintage Books softcover · Robert Moses and the Fall of New York · over 1,300 pages · ISBN 978-0-394-72024-1 About the Book Widely regarded as one of the greatest biographies ever written, The Power Broker tells how Robert Moses — though never elected to any office — became the single most powerful man in New York for more than four decades. He conceived and built the parks, beaches, bridges, and expressways that made the modern city, and, in Caro's telling, mis-shaped it too, at an enormous human cost. Through the story of one man, Caro lays bare how power is really acquired and wielded in America. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Francis Parkman Prize, and named one of the Modern Library's hundred greatest nonfiction books of the twentieth century.
