Another writer lent me this book, I believe for three reasons. One, he thinks Caro is a great writer. Two, he knows I am interested in researching my own book. And three, he thinks I’m obsessed with power.Robert Caro is a heavyweight biographical writer. He won Pulitzer Prizes for his books, The Power Broker and Master of the Senate. In excruciating detail, these tomes cover the life of two American men: Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson. They are important men, yet relative to bigger names, neither spring to the average person’s mind as particularly exciting people.What Caro explores through these biographies is power: how a person gets it, how they wield it, and how they harm those without it.
