If you are not only interested in the building of the world's railways, but also in the social and political history that went with them, then this is the book for you. Wolmar writes well, and has done his research. I had already read this book as a loan from my local library, and was so taken with it that I felt it needed to be on my shelves. It is a book can can be dipped into, and is full of entertaining and surprising stories. More than worth the price.
