China's Great Train by Abrahm Lustgarten
When the 'sky train' to Tibet opened in 2006, the Chinese government fulfilled a fifty-year plan first envisioned by Mao Zedong. This book explores the lives of the Chinese and Tibetans swept up in the project.
"A great yarn.. [Lustgarten] also accomplishes something more valuable: He provides insight into the seat-of-the-pants nature of many of China's massive schemes." - The Washington Post Book World"
