Mixing human interest, political details and some of the more technical aspects...the book charts the factual development while telling the personal story... THE PRESS AND JOURNALNobody should forget the human sacrifice made by those who built the dams all those years ago. The politicians, engineers and navvies of the era bequeathed to us the major source of renewable energy down to the present day. Their legacy will continue to serve us far into the 21st century. - BRIAN WILSON MP, Energy Minister
