This big, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography brings Robert Moses, his city and his oversize ego to life. Moses got his start as an anti-Tammany Hall Democrat and went on to create his own unique role in New York government; neither Mayor nor Governor, he was more powerful than either official for upwards of 40 years, and countless public works bear his mark (including the much-hated ugly New York expressway system and glorious Jones Beach) David Halberstam called this biography "surely the greatest book ever written about a city."
