The Atlantic Telegraph eBook William Howard Russell
This is, in many ways, a remarkable book. The writing style is one that is long forgotten.It is fluid, and the detailing of the events is marvellous. this is an example of reporting at its best
The only tragedy, is that for me, I am too far away from the events to get an emotional connection to the book

The Atlantic Telegraph eBook William Howard Russell Reviews
Written in 1865 by the war correspondent of the Times (London), William H. Russell, this book tells the story of the 1865 attempt to lay the Atlantic Cable from the Great Eastern, Brunel's mammoth ship converted to cable laying for the purpose. After relating the details of the failed attempts to lay the cable in 1857/58, the book describes and illustrates the expedition of 1865. While it, too, ended in failure, it showed that the ship was capable of completing the task, and the cable was successfully laid the following year.
The original edition of this book is hard to find and priced beyond the means of most readers, and the 1975 reprint had only black and white illustrations, losing the depth and tone of the original tinted lithographs. Nonsuch Publishing/Trafalgar Square are to be commended for issuing this handsome reprint; while the illustrations are reduced in size from the originals, they are printed in high resolution on glossy paper, allowing the reader to appreciate the skill of the artist, Robert Dudley.
Russell's well-paced telling of the story and the availability of the full-colour illustrations for the first time in 140 years make this a book well worth owning.
