Description:

Biography of the career of Henry Oliver (1914-1999), South African engineer who worked on many projects across the world, including the D-Day Mulberry harbours and spent most of his career on hydroelectric dam projects across Europe, Africa, Iran, West Pakistan and the Republic of South Africa. All too seldom does a world-famous engineer write a book that offers as much fascination for the layman as for the professional - the author keeps the reader spellbound as he takes us behind the scenes and describes the mighty projects in which he has been involved.

Condition

Vg in d/w. From the library of Jim Green (1928-2016), Professor of Zoology at Queen Mary College, University of London, with his name to endpaper.
