A thrilling oral history of the 'Finest Hour' of British history

Explores the fierce geo-political struggle behind the heroic vision of the canal, and the immense engineering and medical battles that were fought. Using diaries, memoirs, newspapers and private letters, this work weaves in the stories of the ordinary men and women who worked on the canal and their everyday life on the construction.

The human cost was immense: in appalling working conditions and amid epidemics of fever, tens of thousands perished fighting the jungle, swamps and mountains of Panama, a scale of attrition comparable to many great battles. This book traces a heroic dream that spanned four centuries: to build a canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
