Blood, Iron, and Gold - How the Railroads Transformed the World (Paperback)

The opening of the world's first railroad in Britain and America in
1830 marked the dawn of a new age. Within the course of a decade,
tracks were being laid as far afield as Australia and Cuba, and by
the outbreak of World War I, the United States alone boasted over a
quarter of a million miles. With unrelenting determination,
architectural innovation, and under gruesome labor conditions, a
global railroad network was built that forever changed the way
people lived. From Panama to Punjab, from Tasmania to Turin,
Christian Wolmar shows how cultures were enriched, and destroyed,
by one of the greatest global transport revolutions of our time,
and celebrates the visionaries and laborers responsible for its
creation.
