Tremendous detail of a monumental detail that somehow keep me riveted to getting through it. Full of amazing facts and background that few Americans have any knowledge of. For anyone with an iota of interest in Americas history it is a must read. Top notch research and so well written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Transcontinental Railroad *by M***2 on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023* I've read many books on building the Transcontinental Railroad and IMHO, this is the best, bar none. I bought another copy for my grandson who loves history. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Reads more like it was written in the 80s... *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023* This is my fourth Ambrose book and may be my last. He spent the entire book expounding on the successes of the capitalist investors, all while describing the grift, bribery, corruption, and outright fraud they committed to get rich at all costs, as if they were virtuous men. Feels like a book straight out of the Gordon Gecko 80s rather than the year 2000.In the forward, he went so far as to make the point that workers weren't exploited or abused and everyone working on the railroad wanted to be there. A dozen chapters in though, and he's describing a Chinese labor strike where their chief complaints were they didn't want to get whipped, and they didn't want to be restrained when they tried to leave and find other employment. They were being poorly paid slaves not allowed to leave, and after researching that and putting it in the book, Ambrose comes back and writes a foreward that says they all wanted to be there. Unreal.Deaths of twenty or men at a time rate less than a paragraph, one of the investors falling ill takes up most of a chapter.This book is just a tribute to greedy, cheating, corrupt monopolists. I'm actually really disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/221219-nothing-like-it-in-the-world-the-men-who-built](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/221219-nothing-like-it-in-the-world-the-men-who-built) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
