Summary
Publisher Annotation: In 1847 an epic battle against nature, the hostile land, diseases and technical impossibilities was held in the Istmo of Panama. Finding a more accessible step for trade between Europe and Asia across America had become an imperative for companies in all countries, especially those of the United States, who were experiencing the gold rush. The construction of the railroad that would unite the Atlantic and Pacific oceans was crossed by blind ambition, deception and unfair competition among all those who were seduced by the promise of amassing great fortunes. The golden horse narrates this extraordinary adventure that exceeded all expectations, claiming the lives and hopes of many of those who dared to dream of a feat that can only be compared with the opening of the Panama Canal. This classic work by Juan David Morgan, taken, among other languages, to English and Japanese, is a fair review of the role that the United States has played in shaping the Latin American economy and reading as powerful as it is indispensable. Panama, 432pp
