23 April 2015More than Engineering, this is the History of 20th Century America
I loved this book; I didn't want to read it.
17 April 2015... lot of NIMBY push back from what was a good idea on a desk in D
There is a lot more than the fairy tale about Eisenhower that got the interstate system built and a lot of NIMBY push back from what was a good idea on a desk in D.

I had always assumed that the American interstate highway system was created by Eisenhower, justifying the expense by appealing to national defense.

Good read if you are into understanding the interstate system or just enjoy history..
