Much better is Robert Caro's masterful _The Power Broker_.
- Arrath 4y agoOh definitely checking this out. Thanks for the recommendation!
- smelendez 4y agoAlso known for his extraordinarily well researched, multivolume biography of Lyndon Johnson. He’s sort of the Don Knuth of US political biography.
- culturestate 4y ago> He’s sort of the Don Knuth of US political biography. Who's Chernow in this scenario? Maybe Ron Rivest?
- supernova87a 4y agoReading that book takes even longer than getting a renovation permit in NYC.
- specialist 4y agoAudiobook version is great. Read by Caro.
- cbetz 4y agoYeah, check out the audiobook, it is great and was worth the wait. I have the physical book but it has so many pages and is so heavy that it is hard to hold and read, especially lying down. It probably should be sold in a box set.
- otras 4y agoAlso a great prop for your video call background. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/28/nyregion/power-broker-tv.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/28/nyregion/power-broker-tv....
- johnfn 4y agoIncredible book, and I’m not even finished with it yet. :)
- Hikikomori 4y agoI believe they used it as a source for the podcast.
