    Robert Caro, The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York (Knopf, 1974; Random House, 1975)
    A Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Robert Moses, who managed to be one of the most politically powerful men in New York's history without ever getting elected to public office. As the head of Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority and the New York Parks system, he shaped — for good or for ill — the shape of New York. As a result, any story about Moses is also a story about how public lands and transportation are created.
