Caro, Robert A

Black paper spine with gilt stamped spine title; gray paper over boards. Color maps on endpapers. No price listed. Includes notes and index. Francis Parkman Prize Edition, reprint of original edition, published in 1974 by Alfred A. Knopf. "Robert Moses held no elected office. His name almost never appeared on a ballot, and the voting public rarely--in some cases, never--had the slightest notion of the immense influence he wielded or how New York City and its suburbs were shaped by his vision. Yet for nearly half a century, Robert Moses exercised more power than any other figure in the history of the city and state of New York. So powerful was Moses, in fact, that both mayors and governors, including strong and resourceful politicians like Fiorello La Guardia and Franklin Roosevelt, answered his summonses and carried out his plans . . . . He was the greatest builder America has ever known, possibly the greatest builder the world has ever known." [from the dust jacket] A beautiful edition of the book that won both the Pulitzer Prize and the 1975 Francis Parkman prize from the Society of American Historians. Book is in Fine/New Condition. Dust Jacket is in Fine/New Condition.. Fine/Fine.
