Reviews

“For such a dense approach, the prose is fluid and easy to read. Where Morton excels is in linking infrastructure development to the emerging Atlantic System based on U.S. industrial output/export and eventual hegemony in finance.”—John T. Kuehn, Ph.D., Professor, U.S. Army Command and Staff College and author of Strategy in Crisis “The introduction of steel for construction of bridges/skyscrapers and a steel navy is particularly interesting and provides an excellent grounding for understanding the emergence of America as a global power.”—Lawrence Burr, author of Battleship Iowa and Battleship Texas
