Description
Forty years after its original publication, David McCullough's masterful history of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge has become a classic work and is now being reissued with a new preface from the author.
The building of the Brooklyn Bridge was a time of optimism and corruption, a time when Americans were the world's greatest engineers and could collectively create a civic — and national — monument of supreme distinction.
The experience offers lessons to us today, which McCullough will emphasise in his new preface.
