About This Item
Doubleday Books, 2008. Hard cover. Very Good/Very Good. The Panama Canal was the costliest undertaking in history; its completion in 1914 marked the beginning of the ââ¬ÅAmerican Century.ââ¬Â Panama Fever draws on contemporary accounts, bringing the experience of those who built the canal vividly to life. Politicians engaged in high-stakes diplomacy in order to influence its construction. Meanwhile, engineers and workers from around the world rushed to take advantage of high wages and the chance to be a part of history. Filled with remarkable characters, Panama Fever is an epic history that shows how a small, fiercely contested strip of land made the world a smaller place and launched the era of American global dominance.
