A MASTERPIECE

The best book ever written by far on the history of underground travel (including subways) in all its aspects. Published some 25 years ago, it has become a classic. The first reviewer's objection is silly and myopic since the book is a history, not a work of journalism. The last chapter of the book is merely a round-up of subways as they existed at the time. The rest of LABYRINTHS OF IRON is enduring history through and through. It was this remarkable book that launched the career of America's greatest living and most versatile historian.
