The definitive story of the building of the Panama Canal remains David McCullough`s THE PATH BETWEEN THE SEAS, but Julia Greene reveals the hidden story of the of the immigrant workers whose labor enacted this momentous feat of engineering. While the United States and President Teddy Roosevelt took credit for the effort, Greene reveals that the cement of the canal was mixed with the blood, sweat, and tears of workers who had gathered from all over the world. As reward for answering the call to labor, they were forced to endure sparse living arrangements, rotten food, rampant disease, and treacherous working conditions, as well as paltry wages, a ban on union activity, and the constant threat of deportation. In the end, more than 15,000 lost their lives, making the project one of the deadliest non-military undertakings of all time.
