cass reviewed The power broker by Robert Caro
Incredible systematic takedown
5 stars
I listened to the audiobook version, a 66 hour, incredibly detailed factual account of basically all of the things Moses did and influenced during his life. It’s great and honestly I could listen to it again right now. It’s hard not to feel like there was a point where the author thought “christ, this guy is a total asshole” and proceeded to document every neighborhood, park, forest, etc that he either paved over or bulldozed to build road after road, or housing that was designed to miserate the people who lived there.
