"The Panama Canal" by Duncan E. McKinlay is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book details the monumental construction of the Panama Canal, a significant engineering feat that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and transforms global trade dynamics. It highlights the importance of this project not only for the United States but for world commerce as a whole. In the narrative, McKinlay recounts the extensive history of the canal's conception, navigating through the various proposals and endeavors from multiple nations and figures over several centuries. He explores the challenges faced, including political negotiations, engineering hurdles, labor issues, and health crises, particularly the ravages of tropical diseases. The book discusses key figures involved, such as Colonel G. W. Goethals and President Theodore Roosevelt, and elucidates how the successful completion of the canal drastically reduced shipping times and costs, reshaping maritime trade routes and underscoring America's growing influence on the world stage.
