The Public Eye: Julie Green

Most histories focus on the men
who conceived the Panama Canal,
particularly President Theodore Roosevelt and chief engineers
John Stevens and George Goethals. In her latest book
author Julie Greene shifts the focus away from those at the
top, instead telling the story of rank-and-file workers on the
ground. This is the most detailed account of the men and women
who toiled to make the Panama
Canal a reality.  Join host Al Vuona for a discussion with the
author.
