Synopsis: Moses was arguably the most influential individual of the Twentieth Century who: 1) was never elected to a public office; and 2) single-handedly re-shaped and altered the public landscape of the City and Long Island. If you wish to explore the complex history of the urban development of this City -- as well as the inner-workings of the local political dynamics -- this is a must-read.
