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 & 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 & private tragedy. Embracing every major conflict in which railways have played a part
- the Crimean War, the American Civil War, the First & Second Boer Wars, the two World Wars, the Korean War & the Cold War, Engines of War is awe-inspiring tale of industrial might & the transformative power of machinery.
