Summary "The Panama Canal and Its Makers" by Vaughan Cornish is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the monumental effort of constructing the Panama Canal, detailing both the engineering challenges faced and the individuals involved in the project. Readers can expect an in-depth exploration of the canal’s significance for global trade and transportation, as well as the human stories behind its construction.
