The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York
by Robert A. Caro (1974)
Triborough Bridge (Robert F. Kennedy Bridge), Randalls Island
Robert Caro's The Power Broker is a painstaking account of the life of Robert Moses, one of the most determined - while unelected - cityscapers of all time. The Triborough Bridge, which Moses built and used as his power base for decades, links Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx.
