Product Information
This book traces the history of the Panama Canal from the early exploration of Central and South America by the Spanish, through French efforts to build a canal in Panama, to the successful United States completion of the canal in the early twentieth century. Highlighting the people involved in the planning and building of the canal, it examines the many obstacles that had to be overcome, geography, politics, disease, before the canal could be finished. It also discusses the tensions that have existed among local Panamanians protesting the Unites States presence in the Canal Zone, as well as the possible ramifications of the transfer of the canal back to Panama.Product Identifiers
