"This biography is a work of distinction in both the historical and social sense. It is written by one who adds engineering knowledge to biographical skill."
E W Martin in the The Listener
"Mr Rolt is a master of correct terminology and can even turn it to literary advantage where, under another hand, it would cumber context with jargon. This gift, coupled with his own practical knowledge of mechanical and civil engineering, has enabled the author to produce yet another contribution to English history, which would have been quite beyond the power of the academic historian."
Edmund Vale in the Observer
