With the limited sum of $1.5 million, Field and company eventually managed to make the transatlantic cable a reality, and even if its early iterations turned out to be duds, their work did in fact revolutionize communications and "laid down the foundations of what would become...a global village." A Thread Across the Ocean is a satisfying book for the budding entrepreneur and general readers as well. Contact: [email protected]
