In this path-breaking volume, A.K. Maitra has provided a much-needed historical account of the development of the railways and coal industry. The book is based on archival materials and the author's decades of experience handling coal transportation and related policies. The book serves as a bridge between academic history and critical policy studies. It will have a long shelf life.
