--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers
from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed
into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells
the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it
was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in
transportation costs that containerization brought about.
But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money,
both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading
edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two
of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as
delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any
container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's
success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the
container's potential.
Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the
container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as
New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as
Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far
from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's
workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost
products from around the globe.
Published in hardcover on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container
voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. Now
with a new chapter, The Box tells the dramatic story of how the drive and
imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur turned containerization from an
impractical idea into a phenomenon that transformed economic geography, slashed
transportation costs, and made the boom in global trade possible.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more
about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t
use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a
review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed
reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice history of containerized shipping
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is a fascinating history of containerized shipping. The author has done a
whole lot of background research, and there's a lot of footnotes. The writing is
clear and informative, and the chapters are organized into coherent sub-topics.
It was especially interesting for me with regard to insights into shipping and
labor in US ports before containers, the early years of the industry, the role
of Malcom McLean as an innovator, and various factors which led to early growth
and also early boom and bust cycles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, in-depth history of the shipping industry
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022
Verified Purchase
Levinson's "The Box" is the most comprehensive, reader-friendly book not only on
the usage of the shipping container but the shipping and transportation industry
itself. The style, a linear, narrative type, gives both the proper historical
context of breakbulk shipping preceding containerized freight to the union
battles of the 60's, ending with the explosion of Asian container ports in the
second decade of the 21st century. Levinson's detailed narrative is great for
both readers with experience in this industry and the general audience.
However, on occasion, Levinson will mention very specific terminology that can
confuse a reader not familiar with logistics and shipping. Everyone reading this
review probably knows what a container looks like, but not the specifics, such
as the locking mechanisms and the sides to support the weight of multiple
containers. It would have been nice to have more photos to illustrate these
parts. For the most part, any figures are tables relating to data; useful, but
the space should have been used for pictures. Thankfully, Google is a useful
ally.
With the book being around 500 pages (the last ~100 are references and
citations), The Box approaches the border of being too lengthy, but not verbose.
If you are looking for a quick, brief understanding of containerized freight, I
would suggest another book or a YouTube video. However, if you'd like to learn
the history of shipping, containers, transportation, and its affects, both
political and economic, then this book is a must.

I learned a lot about container shipping and how it grew to be the size it is
today along with the economic conditions that would allow that growth.

4.0 out of 5 stars good history of the shipping container
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022

Good History of the Container. It was well-written, easy to read. The story was
interesting. The book was not too long.
I would have appreciated more photos/diagrams showing the evolution of the
containers, the cranes, the locking mechanisms between containers, and the
ships.
It would have been nice to see the scale of the ships next to each other to
demonstrate the rapid growth.
I do feel I learned a bit from the book, and I would probably reread it in the
future, as well as to do some more searching online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, a must for innovators, disrupters, and inventors
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023

Need I say more? Superb.
The tragedy of invention in a real life example, decades sometimes must pass,
and big fortunes gambled, to take a simple invention to mankind. Daring to break
vested interests is a trait of only a few stubborn men.
Inventor sees nothing, mankind gains all.

Would have appreciated a more global view. The author sometimes repeats ideas,
making the book a longer yet entertained read. Would recommend yo skip pages if
you got the idea.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well written though the copy I received appears 3rd hand
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
The book was only delivered today but it's not a "quality" print. The back cover
has a huge crease in it even though the container it came in was unmarked. The
pages have also been set unevenly. Normally I only care about a book's content
but this book cost over £15 and yet already appears 3rd hand.
The book seems to be well written, well laid out and very informative however
the copy I received is very sub par. I actually had to check that I hadn't
accidentally ordered a used book - I hadn't.
This copy is going back to Amazon and hopefully the next copy will be better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on the development which led to your t-shirts
being made in Asia
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2019
Verified Purchase
Who knew the development of the shipping container was so interesting and so
important?
The author spins a great story of the evolution of shipping. In days gone by,
boats would come into harbour with all sorts of stuff randomly placed on board.
Unloading took days. Many workers were employed unloading items. This offered
both advantages (everyone could see what exactly was onboard reducing the chance
of illegal goods) and disadvantages (everyone could see what was onboard so
people often stole valuable items).
The development of the shipping container was excellent for reducing shipping
costs and times. It was a primary driver on why your t-shirts and sweaters are
now made in Asia rather than closer to home. The shipping costs went from
dollars to a few cents. Not only have jobs been lost in the country but also in
the harbour. Men are no longer needed to do the tough work down the docks.
Unions were formed to try and stop the wave of efficiencies but to little
effect. All the unloading of containers is now done by robotic cranes.
With the faster increase in offloading comes more and more containers of which
only around 10% can be screened. The container has made the smuggling, of goods,
drugs and even people more likely.
The book is incredibly well researched and indeed well written. Its possibly a
bit longer than one would want to spend reading about shipping containers but it
has clearly been a really important development worthy of such a decent book.

A very interesting read however it is really a history of the American container
revolution. There is very little mentioned about world operators -other than how
the relate to America. I think the word Maersk is mentioned only once in the
whole book!
