Historical
This was a wonderful backstory of how the interstates were made possible. I wish, however, that more of a narrative had been included on the actual construction of the interstate highways themselves rather than just abstract narrative.

A Good History
A few years back I made an attempt to read the print version of this book and read about the first quarter of the book before stopping. When I saw that there was an audio version of the book, I thought I’d have a better chance of getting through the entire book. I did. The book gives quite the in depth back story on how the idea of a nation wide road system came to be. I found it interesting to learn about it. I had thought the book would have given a little more history of how the interstate system was actually constructed, but it gave a general overview.
