Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Two hundred years ago, Napoleon dreamed of a passage beneath the sea. Victorians drew bold blueprints, only to abandon them to fear and politics. Wars, rivalries, and national pride buried the idea again and again. For centuries, the Channel was not a bridge-it was a barrier.Then, against the odds, visionaries dared to try once more. Out of the chalk and darkness, a tunnel began to take shape-an audacious gamble to carve a hidden highway beneath one of the world's most treacherous stretches of water. What followed was a saga of colossal machines, political battles at the highest levels, financial disasters, and workers who risked their lives in the depths of the earth. At every stage, failure loomed larger than success.The Channel Tunnel and the Making of a Modern Wonder is the gripping story of how two nations, long divided by war and suspicion, forced themselves to trust-and dug toward each other in secret until one historic day, deep beneath the Channel, their hands finally met.Inside these pages, you'll discover: The secret fears that stopped earlier tunnel attempts dead in their tracks.How Margaret Thatcher and Francois Mitterrand struck the deal that would change Europe forever.The dangerous, claustrophobic world of the tunneling crews who battled rock, water, and exhaustion.How the Tunnel transformed trade, travel, and politics-and why its future still hangs in the balance.This is more than the history of an engineering project. It is a human drama of ambition and rivalry, failure and triumph, that reads like a thriller. If you love stories of impossible odds, bold visionaries, and the triumph of determination over doubt, this book will keep you turning the pages. This item is printed on demand.
