An excellent juvenile history of the Panama Canal
This juvenile history of "The Panama Canal" from the Cornerstones of Freedom series provides a solid, basic background on the construction of one of the engineering wonders of the Modern World.Barbara Gaines Winkelman begins with the importance of the Monroe Doctrine in what was to come before going back to Balboa crossing the Isthmus of Panama to "discover" the Pacific Ocean.Spain was the first nation to seriously consider building a canal (the king ordered one built in 1814), but the revolt of Spanish colonies in South America ended that dream.It was not until the early 1900s that the United States emerged as a nation with the interest, money and power to build the canal.However, Winkelman details all of the various attempts and international politics in the interim period.The middle part of this volume covers the actual building of the canal in some detail while the final pages deal with the series of treaties that eventually gave Panama control of the canal,Young students doing a report on the history of the Panama Canal will find this an excellent resource, that goes well what little they might find in their history book.The historic etchings and photographs are particularly good in this volume, which is yet another solid effort in this most excellent series. ...

The Nuremburg Nazi War Crimes Trials
When I picked this up I didn't know much about the Nazi war crimes trial. This is part of the reason I choose it. Another is my interest in war world two history. When you first start to read it may seem slow. After awhile it starts to pick up on what Nazis were being prosecuted and why. It goes into deep detail on there sentences and there lives as prisoners. I think if you were to be doing a report on this subject that this book would be a very helpful reference. ... Read more
