Author : Robert A. Caro

Robert A. Caro is a distinguished American journalist and author acclaimed for his in-depth biographies of prominent political figures, particularly Robert Moses and Lyndon B. Johnson. After a successful career as a reporter, he garnered immense recognition with his seminal work, *The Power Broker* (1974), which chronicles the life of urban planner Robert Moses and is celebrated as one of the greatest nonfiction works of the twentieth century. Caro has authored four volumes of the projected five-part series on Lyndon B. Johnson, exploring the complexities of the former president's life and legacy. Revered as "the most influential biographer of the last century," Caro's meticulous research has earned him numerous prestigious awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the National Humanities Medal from President Barack Obama. His legacy of thorough scholarship has led to the term "Caro-esque" being used to describe other writers emulating his commitment to extensive research and detail.
