The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping (and mis-shaping) of twentieth-century New York, both city and state. For almost half a century, Robert Moses was the single most powerful man in New York, influencing not only the city's politics but also its physical structure. This book reveals how Moses developed his public authorities into a political machine that was virtually a fourth branch of government.

By mobilizing banks, contractors, labor unions, insurance firms, and even the press and the Church, Moses created an irresistible economic force. He personally conceived and completed public works costing 27 billion dollars, making him the greatest builder America—and probably the world—has ever known. Without ever being elected to office, he dominated the men who were, including his most bitter enemy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, until he encountered Nelson Rockefeller, the only man whose power equaled his own.

This book by Robert A. Caro reveals how power works in cities across the United States, making it a vital read for anyone interested in urban studies and the dynamics of power.
