The Power Broker. But I warn you that its a LOOOOOOOOONG book. I got it from the library, but couldn't get through it, so I am doing the audio book. That's still 39 hours long, but its such a great book that had a lot of original research.

I read the book years ago, I would 100% endorse the audio book over the book. He writes his books to be historical reference, i.e. each point is backed up 5 times and often repeated. If you listen to audio book and maybe miss a few because you aren't paying attention its all good.

If you are willing to wait, the Brooklyn Public Library does have the audiobook. Granted, there are 139 holds on 15 copies.
