The Panama Canal and Its Makers

Vaughan Cornish's 'The Panama Canal and its Makers' offers a fascinating look at the history of the iconic canal. While the language is somewhat outdated, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the construction of the canal, including its planning, excavation, and the people who made it all possible. With detailed descriptions of the methods used to excavate the culebra cut and the health conditions faced by workers on the isthmus, this book is a testament to the incredible determination and resilience of the people involved in this monumental project.
