ENGINES OF WAR: HOW WARS WERE WON AND LOST ON THE RAILWAYS

Book ID/图书代码： 00970010B38102

English Summary/英文概要： Engines of War spans more than a century and takes in all the engagements in which railways played a part. It shows that the ‘iron road’ not only made armies far more mobile, but also increased the scale and power of available weaponry. In doing so, wars were fought across wider fronts and over longer timescales, with far deadlier consequences. Christian Wolmar shows how the railways – a fantastic generator of wealth in peacetime – became a weapon of war exploited to the full by governments across the world, facilitating conflict on a scale that was previously unimaginable.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书时间跨度一个世纪多，讲的多是铁路的作用。铁路不仅使得军队更灵活，同时也增强了武器的威力和范围。战争因而打得更长，后果更加无法估摸。和平时期财富助动车的铁路摇身一变化作战争武器投入使用，收到了无法想象的效果。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
