"A clear, perceptive and carefully researched study of this engineering feat and the ways in which the subway led to an expansion of the metropolitan area." -- Publishers Weekly
"One of the best urban-transportation histories to come down the tracks in a long time... In this age, when privatization is widely hailed as a cure for all that ails public life, Hood's book provides some useful perspective." -- The Sciences
"A fascinating story... Hood's extensively researched and highly readable book... conveys the enormity of the project in terms of size, technical challenges faced, and personal tragedies incurred... A fine urban transportation history." -- Lexington Quarterly
""An eminently readable book... Describes how the subway attempted to meet the enormous need to move urban residents far faster than any existing form of mass transit (primarily the elevated railway and the streetcar) and disperse the growing population into unsettled areas at the fringe of the city." -- Railroad History
"An interesting read, describing how the subway helped shape New York City." -- Trains
"Clifton Hood's 722 Miles is the fullest and most authoritative account of the building and impact of the New York City subways, the most extensive system of urban transportation in the United States and perhaps the world." -- Nathan Glazer, Harvard University
