The Power Broker pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
For his biographies of Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson, Robert A. Caro has twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography, twice won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best Nonfiction Book of the Year, and has also won virtually every other major literary honor, including the National Book Award, the Gold Medal in Biogra- phy from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Francis Parkman Prize, awarded by the Society of American Historians to the book that best “exemplifies the union of the historian and the artist.” In 2010, he received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama.
Caro’s first book, The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York, every- where acclaimed as a modern classic, was chosen by the Modern Library as one of the hundred greatest nonfiction books of the twentieth century. It is, according to David Halberstam, “Surely the greatest book ever written about a city.” And The New York Times Book Review said: “In the future, the scholar who writes the history of American cities in the twentieth century will doubtless begin with this extraordinary effort.”

One of the most acclaimed books of our time, winner of both the Pulitzer and the Francis Parkman prizes, The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping (and mis-shaping) of twentieth-century New York (city and state) and makes public what few have known: that Robert Moses was, for almost half a century, the single most powerful man of our time in New York, the shaper not only of the city's politics but of its physical structure and the problems of urban decline that plague us today. In revealing how Moses did it--how he developed his public authorities into a political machine that was virtually a fourth branch of government, one that could bring to their knees Governors and Mayors (from La Guardia to Lindsay) by mobilizing banks, contractors, labor unions, insurance firms, even the press and the Church, into an irresistible economic force--Robert Caro reveals how power works in all the cities of the United States. Moses built an empire and lived like an emperor. He personally conceived and completed public works costing 27 billion dollars--the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Without ever having been elected to office, he dominated the men who were--even his most bitter enemy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, could not control him--until he finally encountered, in Nelson Rockefeller, the only man whose power (and ruthlessness in wielding it) equalled his own.

《成为官僚》一书，最让人感到困惑的是，中译本的出版社为什么会把这么一本非小说的杰出传记，打造成“小说”，如在扉页上别出心裁地，醒目地印上一个文本框：美国当代官场小说。是为了促销？ 事实上，这是一本名副其实的纪实作品，当然它撰写得十分出色，可以美其名...

哎，砖头书你好
评分听完audio...整个人都累死了。
评分我觉得前四次没读完的原因是因为我没花钱。于是我终于痛下决心买了一本，果然效率瞬间提高。就是不懂为什么这么一本神书居然还没有译本。
评分Robert Moses白手起家的政治和建设强人，基本上纽约市主要高速公路，收费桥梁，各大公园（中央公园除外），联合国大楼，林肯中心，共120多个公共项目，都是他在三十到六十年代组织建造，并开创了桥梁收费证券化融资建设模式。Robert Caro一辈子主要琢磨了两个人，Moses和LBJ。
评分爽
