Path Between the Seas
David McCullough is a wonderful writer. It's no wonder he's won the Pulitzer Prize. He has the rare knack of taking complicated events and reducing to the essence of why they're important. It all follows logically. He's a great storyteller. It's a real page-turner!

A Nice Spring Reading
This is a book anyone can read without tiring, becoming bored or is full of technical terms. After buying this pre-owned copy, I searched online for a trade paper new copy. It wasn't available. I put in a cover, and am still reading it a little bit each day after work. For the average reader, this is a books that is fluid, light, accurate, and enjoyable.

Great history
The Panama Canal should be rated as the eighth wonder of the world. Reading this amazing book portrays all that went on to build this canal. Perhaps without the canal we might not have been able to win the second world war. Just my thought. It’s an amazing book and I recommend it for all history buffs. I’ve read it twice.
