Publisher's Summary
As thousands of workers succumbed to dysentery, yellow fever, and malaria, scientists raced to stop the deadly epidemics so that work could continue. The treatments they developed changed the course of medical history.
The opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 spelled the end of the Victorian Age and the beginning of the "American Century".
Panama Fever brilliantly captures the innovative thinking and backbreaking labor, as well as the commercial and political interests, that helped make America a global power.
