Book Review

A Century of Subways: Celebrating 100 Years of New York's Underground Railways. By Brian J. Cudahy. (New York: Fordham University Press, 2003. xii, 388 pp. $30.00, ISBN 0-8232-2292-6.)

As the author of Rails under the Mighty Hudson (1975), Under the Sidewalks of New York (1979), Over and Back (1990), and The Malbone Street Wreck (1999), Brian J. Cudahy is a leading transportation historian. A former federal transit administrator with a deep interest in railways, Cudahy is an amateur historian whose work represents a major genre of transportation history, the chronicle. Chronicles are typically descriptive rather than analytical, written for a general rather than an academic audience, and emphasize the presentation of factual details over argumentation and conceptualization.
