Robert Caro Celebrates 50 Years of 'The Power Broker'

The acclaimed historian reflects on his influential work and his ongoing legacy at the New-York Historical Society.

Robert Caro, at 88, is honored at the New-York Historical Society with an exhibit marking the 50th anniversary of his seminal book, 'The Power Broker.'
'The Power Broker,' a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Robert Moses, remains a critical resource in urban planning and New York City history.
Caro's archives, now housed at the Society, include extensive materials from 'The Power Broker,' though some sections were omitted from the final publication.
The author is currently working on the fifth and final volume of his Lyndon Johnson series, with no scheduled release date.
Caro's meticulous research and narrative style have earned him admiration from figures like President Barack Obama and urban activist Jane Jacobs.
