520 To the Edge of the World is an adventure in travel--full
of extraordinary personalities, more than a century of
explosive political, economic, and cultural events, and
almost inconceivable feats of engineering. Christian
Wolmar passionately recounts the improbable origins of the
Trans-Siberian railroad, the vital artery for Russian
expansion that spans almost 6,000 miles and seven time
zones from Moscow to Vladivostok. The world's longest
train route took a decade to build--in the face of
punishing climates, rampant disease, scarcity of funds and
materials, and widespread corruption.
