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.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The history and events Mr. Parker presents are interesting, noteworthy, and descriptive of all that went into the history of the Panama Canal from its earliest conception to the eventual take over of the project by the United States.What was one of the most memorable moments of Panama Fever?
The description of the life of the workers was very real and descriptive. I could almost envision in my mind's eye what life was like.What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?
It was clear, understandable, and well done.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was history and having lived int he Panama Canal Zone as a child, I could revisit Panama and learn things that I was not aware of...Great story of the history of the Panama Canal

Surely, during the time period over which the canal was created, the project was on a scale of and maybe larger than America's effort to "land a man on the moon and bring him safely back to earth..."
The connections that I learned during this story that I had never known about. The Soo Locks (I'm in Michigan), health discoveries, the French architect, Eiffel, and the connection with the Suez canal. To think that these 150 year old structures and designs are still working splendidly and how dependent the world economy is on them. Totally amazing.
True History-so amazing you couldn't make this up!

This book provided a number interesting views from other vantage points.
This book is great as a supplement to McCullough and also as an independent summary of the story.
Worth a listen or read.

Very detailed information

Well read except for the many French phrases. I cannot imagine not choosing a narrator with a French background or at the very list someone working in the creation of the audio book, who is familiar with French pronunciation.
The funniest part of the book was the phrase "annees horribles" which was so butchered it made me laugh for days. "A-NESS hor-RIB-ble-less" moved the focus from the narrative, to the narrator and surprise over the choice of this one versus other people who could have handled the language changes. A simple consultation and phonetic aides would have made the French entirely possible. This was very distracting considering how much French the author included.
Is there a francophile in the mix?
