Robert Caro
American biographer whose multi-volume life of Lyndon Johnson, The Years of Lyndon Johnson, is the greatest American political biography. The Power Broker, his biography of Robert Moses, is the definitive study of urban political power. His slow, meticulous research process has made each volume a major literary and political event.
