The Power Broker is a biography of Robert Moses. Most readers are probably wondering who that is. Robert Moses was one of the most powerful officials in New York for four decades. While he never won any elected office, he had more power, and often access to more money, than either New York City's mayor or New York State's governor. He used this power to build highways, parks, bridges, and buildings - in the process displacing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. His impact on New York is still apparent decades after he lost power in the 1960's as it shaped the physical structure of the city to this day.
