DESCRIPTION:
jmoran said Lots of Information. This book contains everything you'll ever want to know about Rudolf Deisel and the engine he invented. At times there was too much info for me - especially letters to and from Diesel. I found myself skipping paragraphs because I wasn't interested. This is definately a complete history. The book's arrangement was a little disjointed, continuously going back in time to cover events that happened in parallel.The story of the diesel engine is very interesting. The develpment and meticulous evaluation will intrigue anyone who likes engines, engineering, or manufacturing history. The book is full of pictures and diagrams to illustrate each deta. ALL EUROPE S DIESEL ENGINES BOOKS PUT TOGETHER IN ONE ITEM A Customer ALL BOOKS CONCERNING THE DIESEL ENGINES UP TO 1918 PUBLISHED IN EUROPE ,MOST OF THEM IN GERMAN WHERE THE DIESEL WAS INVENTED,BROUGHT TOGETHER IN ONE COMPLETE REVIEUW ADDING THE AMERICAN ENGINES. THE BOOK IS ACCURATE,GOOD TO UNDERSTAN.EXCELLENT DRAWINGS+PICTURES.AND A FINE LAY OUT SO WHEN YOU GOT THIS BOOK YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY ALL THE OTHERS FOR HAVING A GOOD IDEE OF AN ENGINE WE CAN CALL IT A MUST AND COLLECTORS ITEM FOR DIESEL ENGINEERS TOGETHER WITH THE FAMOUS PUBLICATION FROM *JHON LAMB* THE RUNNING A MAINTENACE OF MARINE DIESEL ENGINES COMMENTS ARE BASED ON MY JOB FUNCTION AS A Sr. Marine Engineer.

The introduction to that book indicated that it was a sequel of sorts to "Diesel's Engine." Having thoroughly enjoyed "Diesels for the First Stealth Weapon" I made a note to pick up "Diesel's Engine" if the asking price was reasonable.Now that I've read it I'm happy to report that it exceeded all my expectations. It's subject is somewhat broader than the later book. Not only does it cover all diesels worldwide regardless of application but is also a serviceable biography of Rudolf Diesel.
