I've been waiting sometime to find a book on the history of the Interstate Highway System. My interest is based on the fact that I've spent most of my life living within the NYS Thruway / Barge Canal corridor of upstate New York.Mr. Lewis' book is balanced and well-researched. For any professor who teaches US public policy, I would highly recommended that he/she asks their students to read this. Mr. Lewis has written this book in such a way that it is an excellent illustration of the development of a major public policy.
