Denne mærkelige tid faldt tilfældigvis sammen med min barndom." Da Anne Knudsen var seks år, fik hendes far arbejde ved Grønlands Tekniske Organisation (GTO).

Hur bör man straffa två elvaårigar som tillsammans mördat ett litet barn? Utanför domstolen i South Sefton i Liverpool 1993 hade en ilsken folkmassa samlats för att bevittna rättegången mot två elvaåriga pojkar som stod anklagade för kidnappning och mord på en tvåårig pojke.

Blood, Iron, and Gold reveals the huge impact of the railways as they spread rapidly across the world, linking cities that had hitherto been isolated, stimulating both economic growth and social change on an unprecedented scale. From Panama to the Punjab, Christian Wolmar describes the vision and determination of the pioneers who developed railways that would one day span continents, as well as the labour of the navvies who built this global network.
