A World History of Rail by Jeremy Black
Is it possible to overestimate the impact of the railway in history? Jeremy Black analyses that impact from the beginning to today. And of course it's not all a triumph. The network of the Congo today operates on three gauges run by separate companies; and a lot of it doesn't work.
'The book takes a global view of the development of the railways, starting with the early days of steam' -- Family Tree Magazine, February 2024
