The birth of the railways and their rapid spread across the world
triggered economic growth and social change on an unprecedented
scale. From Panama to the Punjab, Tasmania to Turin, Blood, Iron
and Gold describes the vision and determination of the pioneers who
developed railways that would link cities that had hitherto been
isolated, and would one day span continents. Christian Wolmar
reveals how the rise of the train stimulating daring feats of
engineering, architectural innovation and the rapid movement of
people and goods around the world. He shows how cultures were
enriched - and destroyed - by the unrelenting construction and how
the railways played a vital role in civil conflict, as well as in
two world wars.
