À propos de cet audio

The idea was almost too fantastic to consider in 1857: Near-instant communication between America and Europe by submarine telegraph line. Cyrus Field would face Atlantic storms, repeated engineering disasters, charges of fraud, and financial ruin in an attempt to lay a 2,000-mile-long cable on the ocean floor. And another man of equal ambition was racing to link the Old World and the new in the opposite direction.
