Description: Public Works: A Dangerous Trade Author: MOSES, Robert Title: Public Works: A Dangerous Trade Publication: New York: McGraw-Hill, (1970) Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. Octavo, 952pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's navy leather, stamped in gilt with red leather spine label. Very gentle foxing to edges, and a touch of rubbing to extremities, but a nice example. This copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Moses on the half-title page: "To Betty and Vince from Bob Moses." There are a few faint foxing marks to the signature page. This is one of an unidentified (but certainly small) number of presentation copies specially bound by the publisher for Moses to give to friends and colleagues. An uncommon memoir, which contains great swaths of reproduced correspondence between Moses and other officials relating to the various public works projects in which he was involved. Moses was perhaps the most influential civil servant in history who never sought wider political office. His complex legacy was explored in Robert Caro's unparalleled biography, "The Power Broker," which was published four years after this memoir. Near fine.
