The Interstate Highway - An American Success Story
The
Roads That Built America: The Incredible Story of the U.S.
Interstate System
by Dan McNichol
The year 2006 celebrates the 50th
anniversary of the U.S. Interstate System, the most incredible
road system in the world. Created by Dwight D. Eisenhower,
whose WW II experiences taught him the necessity of a superhighway
for military transport and evacuation in wartime, today's
Interstate System is what connects our coasts and our borders,
our cities and small towns. It's made possible our suburban
lifestyle and caused the vast proliferation of businesses
from HoJos to Holiday Inns. And if you order something online,
most likely it's a truck barreling along an interstate that
gets the product to your door. Written by bestselling author
Dan McNichol, The Roads that Built America is the fascinating
story of the largest engineering project the world has ever
known.
