Title: Panama Fever
Author: Matthew Parker
Narrator: Oliver Wyman

Length: 17 hrs and 45 mins
Language: English
Release date: 03-18-08
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 115 votes
Genres: History, 20th Century
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.
Critic Reviews:
"Matthew Parker intertwines the various strands of the story - personal and national, political and financial, geographical and technological - with finesse. Best of all, his prose somehow manages to infect the reader with the Panama fever itself." (The Spectator)
