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.

读后感
《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...
评分东亚有着数千年的高度发达的专制集权政治的传统，在这里，官场仕途成为整个社会最热衷的竞技场并不会让人感到太多的意外。但是，在一向以商业立国的美国，那里的政坛又会是一幅怎样的浮世绘呢？ 不要以为在太平洋的彼岸官僚的权力就会减少多少逊色多少。在《The Power Broker》...

用户评价
1975年的普利策奖传记作品，看过中文版 翻译作《成为官僚》，关于 罗伯特.摩西的令人唏嘘不已的一生，权力，媒体，城市规划，社区与真实。1975年的美国政坛，公共建设领域 与今天的中国 也许仍然有些惊人的相似之处。很可惜另一本相关著作《美国大城市的死与生》一直没读
评分理想主义者是一个可敬又可怕的存在，可怕在于他们为了理想可以牺牲掉一切，而可敬在于这一切也包括他们自己；简雅各布斯易得，而摩西难求，虽然我最喜欢的是芒福德先生。
评分刚听完vol.1 Robert Caro每本书背后的research volume都非常惊人，读起来真是一种享受。Moses和LBJ有惊人的相似处，大概就是这种对权利的掌控能力使得Caro对他们俩都感兴趣吧？能通过此书了解到NYC公共建筑不寻常的历史真是幸运啊
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You wanna know New York. You wanna read Robert.
