Panama Fever by Matthew Parker
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.
Born in Central America, Matthew Parker spent part of his childhood in the West Indies, acquiring a life-long fascination with the history of the region. Since graduating from Oxford, he has worked as an editorial consultant on a number of works of history, and written two bestselling books. He now lives with his family in east London. His most recent book was Monte Cassino.
