	** The book is written by Herwig Schopper, the director-general of CERN during the crucial period of the construction of LEP. Schopper recounts vividly the convoluted decision-making and technical implementation processes—the tunnel alone being a highly challenging geo- and civil engineering project—and the subsequent extremely fruitful period of scientific research. Finally he describes the difficult decision to close down LEP, at a time when the discovery of the Higgs boson seemed within reach.		** The book is written by Herwig Schopper, the director-general of CERN during the crucial period of the construction of LEP.
