READERS' REACTIONS TO THE BOOK

".......a wonderful book.......impressive......a wonderful gift for Eritrea.......a masterpiece..... "

Melles Haile, Sweden

".......by far the best researched and most exhaustive representation of Eritrean railway history published so far, and I do not think much has been left open for future research......... wealth of historic documents and illustrations..........a truly definitive account."

Gunter Koch,Germany

"This is the story very well told by Street and Ghebreselassie........the book has everything there should be in a (very good) railway history. But Red Sea Railway has more.......superbly illustrated.............Red Sea Railway should find a well-deserved place on the book shelves of many enthusiasts, whether their interest is in African railways or they are among those who have flocked to Eritrea in recent years. Recommended."

Keith Chester

"I have just completed reading the Red Sea Railway book fully from cover to cover and must congratulate you and Amanuel on an excellent production. The people sections were of great interest, alongside the history, geographical and technical sections. It is rare that locals feature in railway coverage of African railways, I'm sad to say."
