Items related to The Panama Canal: An Army's Enterprise
In 1907, after so many other would-be builders, foreign and domestic, had failed, Army leaders undertook what seemed to be an impossible mission-uniting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through a series of gigantic canals, locks, and waterways in a primitive land whose climate and geography created instant hardships. This work describes the role of those Army officers who defied the odds and saw this immense project through to completion.It marks the first attempt to focus on the U.S. Army's role and to carry the narrative forward to cover the defense of the canal in the following decades. Originally published by the US Army's Center of Military History in color.
