Tom Rolt had written a very full biography of Isambard Kingdom Brunel back in the late 1950s - this shorter and simpler version followed in 1965, being aimed at a broader, and somewhat less technical readership, concentrating on the adventures in Brunel’s life. Highly readable, this edition forms an excellent introduction to this fascinating man. 118 page paperback, illustrated with a number of sketches. Sutton Publishing
