Path Between the Seas

Author: David McCullough

McCullough’s masterful narrative brings to life the epic tale of the Panama Canal’s construction. With vivid detail and gripping prose, he chronicles the audacious vision, political intrigue, and human drama behind this monumental engineering feat. From the French failure to America’s triumph, McCullough weaves a rich tapestry of ambition, innovation, and perseverance. I was captivated by the larger-than-life characters and the sheer scale of their undertaking. A truly inspiring story of human achievement against seemingly insurmountable odds.

There are no dreams too large, no innovation unimaginable and no frontiers beyond our reach.
