Synopsis
This book concerns a treaty proposed in 1870 between the governments of Colombia and the United States to explore options for building an interoceanic canal. The author analyzes the treaty to ascertain the true nature of the commitment it represented. It is argued that the treaty was not simply to build a canal but to assess whether one was feasible, and building it was subject to the US government's judgment of its practicality. As such, the author posits that the treaty was an agreement to potentially build rather than a commitment to do so. The author provides significant historical context for the book's subject, addressing the implications of the canal's construction for international politics, especially between the US and European nations. Ultimately, the book provides important insights into the often-overlooked challenges faced by parties to major infrastructure projects.
