Title: One of the finest histories written in the 20th Century
Review: The scope and the sweep of Path Between the Seas is immense. Yet this is no pedantic list of train cars needed and tons and tons of slipping, sliding earth. McCullough has captured the immensity of the engineering and the health problems that far too many of us take for granted today as we transit the canal in cruise ships or talk about its future. I just saw him on Book CSpan at Claremont College and we are indeed fortunate to have such a gifted historian in our midsts. Get the book and admire the accomplishments of the historian and those whose story he tells..
