Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers in one volume all the articles published in "Proceedings of the Canal Zone Medical Association" from its inception in 1908 to its last year of publication in 1927. During these two decades, the "Proceedings" faithfully recorded the medical activities and sanitation efforts of a team of American doctors who confronted yellow fever, malaria, typhoid fever and many other tropical diseases in Panama. The fifteen volumes of the "Proceedings" contain 3,215 pages and 426 articles that reflect not only the constant fight against tropical diseases, but also the struggle of expatriate groups mainly from the West Indies, Panama, Spain, Greece and China, who toiled under ethnic discrimination, overcrowded housing and suboptimal nutrition. The poor living conditions contributed to the high prevalence of pneumonia and tuberculosis in these groups. The workers also were victims of "external trauma" from heavy machinery, railroad accidents, cutting and piercing injuries and dynamite explosions. Between 1881 and 1914, more than 28,000 laborers died during the construction of the Panama Canal. Although the American effort was hailed as an engineering and sanitation triumph, this was only possible by the sacrifice of many who paid the ultimate price to complete the interoceanic canal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emperors in the Jungle is an exposé of key episodes in the military involvement of the United States in Panama. Investigative journalism at its best, this book reveals how U.S. ideas about taming tropical jungles and people, combined with commercial and military objectives, shaped more than a century of intervention and environmental engineering in a small, strategically located nation. Whether uncovering the U.S. Army’s decades-long program of chemical weapons tests in Panama or recounting the invasion in December 1989 which was the U.S. military’s twentieth intervention in Panama since 1856, John Lindsay-Poland vividly portrays the extent and costs of U.S. involvement. Analyzing new evidence gathered through interviews, archival research, and Freedom of Information Act requests, Lindsay-Poland discloses the hidden history of U.S.–Panama relations, including the human and environmental toll of the massive canal building project from 1904 to 1914. In stunning detail he describes secret chemical weapons tests—of toxins including nerve agent and Agent Orange—as well as plans developed in the 1960s to use nuclear blasts to create a second canal in Panama. He chronicles sustained efforts by Panamanians and international environmental groups to hold the United States responsible for the disposal of the tens of thousands of explosives it left undetonated on the land it turned over to Panama in 1999. In the context of a relationship increasingly driven by the U.S. antidrug campaigns, Lindsay-Poland reports on the myriad issues that surrounded Panama’s takeover of the canal in accordance with the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty, and he assesses the future prospects for the Panamanian people, land, and canal area. Bringing to light historical legacies unknown to most U.S. citizens or even to many Panamanians, Emperors in the Jungle is a major contribution toward a new, more open relationship between Panama and the United States.
