Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book delves into the Panama Canal project, exposing the monumental decits and masked evils that have shadowed the faith of the American people in their national ideal. The initial grant was one hundred and forty -ve millions, yet with an additional eight million and the various sums authorized by Congress for canal purposes, the appropriations total over two billion dollars. Over ten draining years and a total cost, with interest, of upwards of 550 millions are still needed to complete the construction. Despite the enormous funds poured into the project, the excavation of the Culebra Cut, the backbone of the canal, is still unaccomplished. The report of 1907, ostensibly the best annual review yet made, sidesteps responsibility for the perilous design, echoing the same hollow reassurances voiced by the experts whose flawed Wachusett Dam prototype continues to slide in its crucial mass. The labor problem also remains unsolved. The author argues that the only way of redemption lies in a different canal design, one that incorporates low dams, separate locks, and a program of synchronous execution. This alternative method would also address the labor issue by replacing a large contingent of foreign colored and white labor with relatively small forces of skilled Americans. Providing a vital and fresh perspective on this historic endeavor, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true story of the Panama Canal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
