Getting There: The Epic Struggle between Road and Rail in the American Century (Chicago Lectures in Mathematics)

"A readable and concise overview of how U.S. transportation came to its
present pass. . . . Goddard is at his best when recounting the complex
and interesting history of what has come to be called 'the highway
lobby.'. . . An excellent book for the general reader with an interest
in getting around."â€"Larry Fish, Philadelphia Inquirer

"This is a riveting story: of mighty railroads hamstrung almost
overnight by government bureaucrats; of road interests led by General
Motors Corp. conspiring in city after city to destroy efficient trolley
systems . . . and of freeways that are far from free."â€"Bill Laitner,
Detroit Free Press

"The combination of forces and fates that turned America into a giant
parking lot from sea to shining sea is the subject of Stephen B.
Goddard's lively pop history. . . . As Mr. Goddard ably points out,
road-building and the creation of car-dependent suburbs have become ends
in themselves."â€"James Howard Kunstler, Wall Street Journal

"The strength of Goddard's book is that he understands the complexities
of manipulating public opinion to influence legislatures."â€"David
Young, Chicago Tribune

"[Goddard's] book is a deft and easily read history of how
transportation has shaped the nation and its economy, and ultimately,
how a federation of truck and car interests drastically tilted national
policies. . . . For many reasons this is an exceptionally important
work."â€"Jim Dwyer, New York Newsday
