The modern world was made in an unruly age of tremendous possibility. And this is the story - an epic of sweat and science, full of bloody-minded, brilliant and heroic characters. It is about men, animals and machines, about the seafarers, engineers, inventors and trailblazers who enabled the British to hold together a vast empire and the Americans to push their frontiers west.
'Conquerors Of Time' celebrates 150 years of courage, energy, innovation, resourcefulness and grand ideas, from the late seventeenth Century to the early twentieth. It wonders at the imperatives, beliefs and sheer confidence that powered their extraordinary achievements. Packed with detail, it is a narrative both vivid and moving.
