A great story, admirably told in vivid, page-turning detail. McCullough reveals the full scope of the Panama Canal, its characters, technical difficulties and Byzantine politics. Capturing all the international intrigue, you couldn't make up a better story. It's 700 pages long but reads like a suspense novel.  (CAM32, $20.00)
