Railways & the Raj: How the Age of Steam Transformed India
Why this book?
I love and personally connect with this book for the national context it has and not just one zone of the railway. Also showing the city around to the author during his research was an absolute honour. What value did you get from this book? The inputs and explanation add to more value simply because the author has taken the trouble of actually visiting the key places before writing which adds a connection between history and the contemporary.
