In this "bold expedition into unfamiliar terrain"
(The Detroit News), author Benson Bobrick
explores the world of underground transportation,
from the discover of colossal road tunnels built
by the Romans through the construction of
the subways in London, Paris, New York,
Moscow and other cities to the opration
of the present systems.

Within the Book's epic sweep
are heroic adventures,
spectacular engineering feats
great disappointments, madness,
intrigue and death.

Bodrick uncovers not only nostalgia and technical
detail but also the subway's relation to art,
its use in wartime, its psychological impact,
and the breathtaking archaeological
discoveries its builders have unearthed.

(Benson Bobrick is the author of Fearful Majesty:
The Life and Reign of Ivan the Terrible.
and East of the Sun:
The Epic Conquest and Tragic History of Siberia.
He lives in Brookln, New York.)
