The Wreck of the Penn Central
By : Joseph R. Daughen, Peter Binzen
This book, which The New York Times called 'a great book,' offers the reader a 'ringside seat' to the economic debacle, provides a close-up view of the events that brought the Big Train to bankruptcy court -- over-regulation, subsidized competition, big labor featherbedding, greed, corporate back-stabbing, stunning incompetence, and, yes, even a little sex. The story is every bit as enthralling in this 1999 illustrated reprint edition as it was in the original edition published in 1971.
