About this product
Product Information
The British were at the forefront of railway development for the first fifty years of the nineteenth century. Railway Empire tells the story of how the British gave railways to the world, not only in the empire, but also in other countries outside areas of direct influence. It is often forgotten today that the British were responsible for the construction and management of a large proportion of the railways constructed in Africa, South America and Australasia not to mention many thousands of miles of mileage in Asia, India, Malaya, Burma, China and Japan. This book looks at the political, economic and technical aspects of this development, which made Britain a country at the forefront of this form of transport. AUTHOR: Anthony Burton is an author and broadcaster who has written many reputable books on history, industrial history and transport history. He was born in 1934 and now lives in Stroud, Gloucestershire, with his wife. 125 b/w and 25 colour illustrations, 4 Maps

Great seller, great product at a great price, and dispatched quickly. The book arrived in perfect condition in a bubble-wrap padded envelope, so in this case Royal Mail clearly treated the package with care, but that is not always the case. Seller would be absolutely perfect if a cardboard mailer was to be used.
