Tunnel Tigers: A First-hand Account of a Hydro Boy in the Highlands

I’m the son of a Donegal miner and I’m always interested in accounts from bygone eras. I enjoyed it

Not very informative and was rather limited in its scope, therefore would not reccommend this book for anyone seeking any breadth of information on the development of the hard rock tunnelling brigades.

Great book

Book received promptly, The item was in A1 condition. Many thanks.

Excellent service and quick delivery. Will order more from Amazon

This is a personal account of one man's experiences on one or maybe two individual projects, and in no way pretends to be a history of the Hydro Board ("The Dam Builders" is a good history of the board in the product links), or even of the whole of the specific projects he worked on. If you want a project history, look elsewhere.What you are getting is a hugely readable account of what day to day life for a worker on a major civil engineering project in Scotland in the 1950s was like.

Accurate historic record well presented

This book brings to life the little known experiences of a worker on a hydro electric scheme in Perthshire. It also deals interestingly with the problems that young people had in Donegal in the 1950s.
