Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Robert A. Caro's&nbsp;The Power Broker, the monumental work that has been called “surely the greatest book ever written about a city.” This groundbreaking book made known for the first time how Robert Moses, over more than four decades and without ever being elected to public office, amassed power so immense that with it, he shaped New York.
This virtual presentation explores the story behind the book: how Caro uncovered the falseness behind the image that Moses had so carefully cultivated, and that the press and public believed, to reveal the extent of Moses’ power and the heartbreaking human cost behind his public works.Hosted on&nbsp;Zoom. Free and open to all. To receive a link, click <a href="https://warnerlib.librarycalendar.com/event/robert-caros-power-broker-zoom-7808" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">HERE</a>.
