This type of study is long overdue, filling a void in the literature of American transportation history." * Roger Grant, <i>Enterprise and Society</i> * "This important book argues persuasively that it was history and politics, not markets and competition, that determined public policy toward transportation from 1920 to 1980. Skillfully pulling together the histories of the various modes of transportation, the book makes the case that politics was more significant even than technical expertise-invariably, the work of experts was bested by politics." * William H. Becker, George Washington University *
