I think Caro was fair to Moses. There is a lot of negativity in the book and I think Caro justifies it well with plenty of backup. It's not that he is making baseless accusations. He also gives Moses a lot of credit especially in his early years. Caro is more critical about Moses' housing policies (where he has nothing good to say about Moses) than about his road building which he actually praises somewhat. I think there is one point where he asks the question are we better off that he lived, or worse for it and he answers that we are better off in spite of all the negative things he did. |
