Engines of War tells the dramatic story of how the railways
revolutionized the nature of warfare, ushering in an age of
industrialized conflict in which wars were fought on a previously
unimaginable scale. From the moment of its first appearance, the
'iron road' not only rendered armies more mobile, but also
massively increased the power and the deadliness of the weaponry
available to them. Christian Wolmar's epic account - of how an
invention that brought prosperity in peace-time metamorphosed in
time of war into a weapon of death - is counterpointed by a wealth
of human stories of personal endeavour and private tragedy.
Embracing every major conflict in which railways have played a part
- the Crimean War, the American Civil War, the First and Second
Boer Wars, the two World Wars, the Korean War and the Cold War,
Engines of War is awe-inspiring tale of industrial might and the
transformative power of machinery.
