Wrestling with Moses is an epic tale filled with nuanced lessons. Flint is passionate in supporting Jacobss once radical but now commonly shared views, yet he deftly leaves room for Moses. This is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the shaping of cities.Alex Krieger, professor of urban design, Harvard University
In this gripping and inspiring story of one woman who galvanized her community against powerful, destructive forces, Anthony Flint gets to the heart of what makes neighborhoodsand citiesthrive.Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class and Whos Your City?
Jane Jacobs, the crownless queen of cities, defended New York against the assault that would have destroyed its pattern of the daily life. Wrestling with Moses is a masterly tale of how her mandate endures.Jane Holtz Kay, architecture critic for The Nation and author of Asphalt Nation
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 Awardwinning author of Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincolns Killer
Beautifully written, Wrestling with Moses is a step back in time to the bohemia of Greenwich Village in the 1960s, when Bob Dylans 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 Titanics Last Secrets
