Ramon’s Reviews > The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York > Status Update

Read most of Chapter 1 this morning. This is about Moses' family background, going back two generations to Bavaria in the 1800s. It's really interesting, as we get pretty full portraits of all these people in just a few words. Learned that the Jewish ghettos were a thing in Bavaria back then too!
When I can actually sit down for a minute without any distractions, this book is instantly compelling.

I finally tracked down a copy of this that was under $20 (I paid the same as the cover price from 1976: $18.50) so I could read along with Roman Mars and Eliot Kalan's podcast/book club.

I read the introduction, which is 21 pages long. It took me an hour.
