8 reviews for The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York

  1. Gouri Raj

    It is a great read to understand the history of NYC. Some of the content can be trimmed. But it is a must read.

  2. Rochan Goel

    Found it dense and difficult to get into, though insightful. Moses certainly left his mark, both good and bad, on the city.

  3. Tanmay Kumar Sarkar

    An exhaustive but fascinating look at a man who shaped a city. Sometimes overwhelming with detail, but ultimately rewarding.

  4. Madhubani Kulabhi

    Truly an impressive biography. The scale of Moses’ influence is astonishing. Highly recommend, if you have time to dedicate.

  5. Abhay Kumar Rajak

    Incredible detail, but hard to get through. Moses was a complex figure, and Caro captures that well. A tough, but important read.

  6. Vineet Chaudhary

    Changed the way I see New York. Moses was a force, but at what cost? The book could’ve been shorter, though. A lot of details.

  7. Yatindra Narayan Jha

    A monumental biography. Caro’s research is impeccable, and the story is gripping. Be prepared for a long, intense journey.

  8. Aahana Moral

    Moses’ impact is undeniable, but this book makes you question the cost. A bit long, but worth the effort to understand NYC’s history.
