Christian Wolmar expertly tells the story of the Trans-Siberian
railway from its conception and construction under Tsar Alexander
III, to the northern extension ordered by Brezhnev and its current
success as a vital artery. He also explores the crucial role the
line played in both the Russian Civil War -Trotsky famously used an
armoured carriage as his command post - and the Second World War,
during which the railway saved the country from certain defeat.
Like the author's previous railway histories, it focuses on the
personalities, as well as the political and economic events, that
lay behind one of the most extraordinary engineering triumphs of
the nineteenth century.
