Official History of Britain and the Channel Tunnel
«
'The work is scholary and well-referenced. It opens the reader's eyes to the complexity of planning, negotiating and implementing a truly major project that has changed our whole relationship with the Continent.' - modern-railways.com
'As the President of the Swiss Federal Railways said on a visit to the tunnel in 1997.' This is the work of the century.' Mr Gourvish has done us proud with his account.' - Journal of the Railway and Canal Historical Society
'In his account of that most recent 40-year phase, Terry Gourvish has successfully blended treatment of the technical and political issues with close attention to the economic problems. Meanwhile, an amusing selection of newspaper cartoons injects welcome attention to the popular hopes and fears aroused by the tunnel. This combination makes for such a thorough account of the British side of debates that it is hard to imagine there is much else to be said about the project on this side of the channel.' - Economic History Society 2007, Economic History Review, 60, 1 (2007)
