I plowed through the 66 hour audiobook version of this after failing to get through the paper copy. It's a completely fascinating book about all the ways Robert Moses contrived to leverage power to gain more power and ultimately to reshape the entire New York City area to his will. Thankfully Jane Jacobs and many others pushed back before he could destroy Manhattan completely, but his legacy in terms of automobile-dependence, racially segregated neighborhoods, inadequate mass-transit and to be fair, some nice parks, will live on for decades.
