ramblingkid started reading The power broker by Robert A. Caro
This has been on my 'of interest' list for over 10 years at this stage - I first learned about Robert Moses during the urban sustainability courses I took as part of my MA, lo these many moons ago. A friend recently finished reading it and spoke very highly of it, which (together with an online plea from an independent bookshop to help them meet this month's rent) prompted me to finally order a copy.
