The author of this study is well aware, and sometimes penitently, that each chapter could easily be expanded to book-length. Nevertheless, the theme is narrow, which means that attention is concentrated on just one small sector of that wide front over which the struggle for Soviet industrialization took place. Essentially the book is about the choice of motive power for Soviet Railways; that is, what options were available, how and why they were chosen, and how successful the choices proved.
