Panama fever : the epic story of one of the greatest human achievements of all time--the building of the of the Panama Canal by Matthew Parker
"This history of the Panama Canal describes the scheming, the speculating, and the backbreaking labor—performed mostly by West Indians, who bore the brunt of the estimated twenty-five thousand fatalities—that went into "the costliest project ever yet attempted." Construction began in 1880, as a privately financed French enterprise, and was completed by the United States, in 1914. " - The New Yorker
