I didn't know history could be this much fun.

The story in the book about Eisenhower crossing the country in 1919 with a caravan of vehicles was very interesting. It showed the deplorable state of roads at that time and why Ike was so dedicated to improving roads when he became president. The role of asphalt in helping to win battles in World War II was also enlightening.
