Résumé

In Railways and Frontiers, the author explores the ways in which Europe's rail networks have been affected by changes in the continent's internal frontiers. Through a series of fascinating case studies organised by country, the author examines the impact on European frontiers made by such historical events as the emergence of Germany and Italy in the 19th Century and two World Wars in the 20th. Illustrated with an array of maps, modern photographs and scenes from old postcards, Railways and Frontiers brings a previously unconsidered aspect of the history of railways in Europe to life in an imaginative way.
