Historian Robert Caro’s seminal work “The Power Broker” meticulously chronicles the impact of urban planner Robert Moses, detailing how he reshaped New York City through extensive infrastructure developments while also examining the profound effects on the communities he altered and, in some cases, destroyed.
This book serves as a critical exploration of power dynamics in the United States, illustrating not only how power is obtained but also its operational mechanisms and repercussions.
In addition to “The Power Broker,” Caro’s notable contributions include four acclaimed volumes focusing on President Lyndon Johnson, solidifying his reputation as one of the most influential American authors of the last fifty years.
