74 reviewsThe Power Broker by Robert A. Caro is "simply one of the best non-fiction books in English of the last forty years" (Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times): a riveting and timeless account of power, politics and the city of New York by "the greatest political biographer of our times" (Sunday Times).
"An epic, meticulously detailed study of power in general: how it’s acquired, how it’s used to change history, how it ultimately corrupts those who get it ..." - Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian UK
The Power Broker tells the story of Robert Moses, the single most powerful man in New York for almost half a century and the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Without ever once being elected to office, he created for himself a position of supreme and untouchable authority, allowing him to utterly reshape the city of New York, turning it into the city we know today, while at the same time blighting the lives of millions and remaining accountable to no one.
"A stupendous achievement... Caro's style is gripping, indeed hypnotic, and he squeezes every ounce of drama from his remarkable story… Can a democracy combine visionary leadership with effective checks and balances to contain the misuse of power? No book illustrates this fundamental dilemma of democracy better than The Power Broker... Indeed, no student of government can regard his education as complete until he has read it." - Vernon Bogdanor, Independent
First published in the USA in 1974, this monumental classic was a Sunday Times bestseller when published in the UK in 2015 and is now widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest books of its kind.
