... Witte predicted, the Trans-Siberian also proved essential to the country’s industrialization and to the exploitation of the natural resources in the vast territory it traversed. The growth of new towns and cities, such as Novosibirsk, would have been impossible without it. Wolmar celebrates those achievements but also points out the high price so many Russians paid for them. In Russia, triumph is almost always accompanied by tragedy.
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.
