The fascinating tale of the building of America's first superhighway, which sparked off a vicious labour war and ended in murder and a disastrously flawed motorway.
The Last Three Miles is an investigative history of a fascinating chapter in the heroic age of public works - the building of the nation's first superhighway, designed to connect NYC to the rest of the States. Construction of the last three miles of Route 25 marked an epic battle between big labour and big politics. It culminated in a murder - with a sensational trial - and the creation of a motorway so flawed it soon became known as Death Avenue. Hart is an award winning journalist and the book is an epic narrative non-fiction, a la Rybcznski or Petrovski.
