The thesis was NEVER published as a book. What you see here

Irene Anastasiadou, Constructing iron Europe. Transnationalism and railways in the Interbellum comes down to 50 printouts I financed from my own pocket.

​

I have not reworked the thesis into a book. What you see here is an effort from the editors to produce a book fast from my thesis so as to appropriate the material and use it to write their book. There was never a book, and any review is staged. There was no editing of the chapters only a request to change headings and subheadings from the series editors. I was not aware of a review for 15 years. The only reason they present it now is in their effort to undermine my work and bring me down. What is presented as a review is portrayed only now in a specific internet page (website) of a journal without my consent.
