Praise
for Wrestling with Moses:
“Anthony Flint has written a riveting account of a struggle
between opposites that forever redefined the American city. With no
formal training in urban planning, Jane Jacobs had the audacity to
take on Robert Moses and the passion to save old New York from the
wrecking ball.”
—James L. Swanson, Edgar Award–winning author
of the New York Times bestseller Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s
Killer
“Beautifully written, Wrestling with Moses is a step back in
time to the bohemia of Greenwich Village in the 1960s, when Bob Dylan’s
music filled the streets and revolution was in the air. As a woman
standing up to power, Jane Jacobs blazed a trail. This is a remarkable
book.”
—Brad Matsen, author of Titanic’s Last Secrets
