Book Reviews The Power Broker and A Dead Giveaway
Review excerpts praise Robert Caro's 650000 word study of Robert Moses as a defining look at New York infrastructure and power. The piece notes Moses built parks and highways while neglecting mass transit, shaping urban growth and autocratic influence. It also mentions A Dead Giveaway by Millie Considine and Ruth Pool, hinting at themes of returning from the grave to reveal love or hate.
