2.Panama Fever: The Epic Story of One of the Greatest Human Achievements of All Time-- the Building of the Panama CanalPanama Fever: The Epic Story of One of the Greatest Human Achievements of All Time-- the Building of the Panama Canal
from Doubleday
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Parker's Panama Fever is a magazine article. The 500-page book is padded with mind-numbing detail. I can't think of a friend to whom I might pass on (inflict?) my partially-read copy. Van

3.A Guide to the Birds of PanamaA Guide to the Birds of Panama
from Princeton University Press
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:
It remains the only guide specific to the birds of Panama so a birder headed to that country has almost no choice but to buy a copy. However, this is a 1989 update to a work originally completed in 1974 and it is sorely lacking many features that are incorporated into the "modern" field guides... more info

from Dover Publications
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
The Building of the Panama Canal in Historic Photographs by Ulrich Keller is a most fascinating compilation of photographs recording man's greatest engineering achievement in construction during the 20th Century. The photographs are even more special to me because it shows scenes that my Barbadian... more info

5.Six Minutes to FreedomSix Minutes to Freedom
from Citadel
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Almost from the first time I heard about Kurt Muse I felt that there was something missing in this story. Seeing him on television, watching a documentary about him, and reading this book, I felt that he was being disingenuous in his telling of it.
If you see what the American government spent... more info

6.The Sack of Panama: Captain Morgan and the Battle for the CaribbeanThe Sack of Panama: Captain Morgan and the Battle for the Caribbean
from Thomas Dunne Books
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:
Peter Earl does it again. There have been a few titles on Henry Morgan's exploits on the Spanish Main lately, but this one really stands out from the pack. Earl's excellent bibliography demonstrates his superior scholarship and the maps are an excellent addition, although I do wish there were more.... more info

from University of Georgia Press
Price: $22.95

Customer Review:
I recently wrote a U.S. History Term paper on the Panama Canal, and during the scamble for resources, I found this book on Amazon.com. It served as the backbone of my paper, focusing on every facet of the canal's existence, including the flawed U.S. reasoning while aquiring the canal. Conniff makes... more info

from Cornell University Press
Price: $28.00

Customer Review:
This book is really about the Watermelon Slice Incident in Panama City in 1856 when a mob of locals attacked and killed 15 Americans transiting the Isthmus on their way to the gold fields of California. Read the 1968 American Heritage Magazine article to get more detailed description of the event... more info

from Duke University Press
Price: $16.46

Customer Review:
Very well researched but the author obviously has a chip on his shoulder. He takes every opportunity to blast the U.S. Government (sometimes rightfully so) but the book would be much more bearable if he would just present the facts without taking every opportunity to play-up how the upper-class... more info

from New World Publications
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:
This book, like all publications from these guys, is a fairly comprehensive field guide for marine species in the region, including some notes about behaviors and ranges of habitation. However, I continue to struggle with its non-scientific arrangement, where species are lumped together according to... more info
