Wow! Talk about history! This book goes into detail from the very beginning when Thomas Jefferson discussed the canal concept with Hombolt at the White House. Then goes into details and politics of the French project. Some things never change! Enjoy!

This is a very good David McCullough book. A fascinating topic and look into Governmental interaction politicaly, internationaly and public /private business. It is a little heavy on the French history compared to the american involvement. He writes mostly based on the people involved. I would have preferred more information on the actual building of the dams and the locks specifically. However, it is as usual, a very good read.
