Focusing on U.S. policy toward the Panama Canal from 1903 to 1979, the book explores five critical themes: the Canal's strategic defense, its autocratic governance, a segregated labor force, commercial exploitation of Panama, and U.S. political intervention. Utilizing previously underutilized sources from government agencies and key historical figures, it offers a detailed analysis of the complex relationship between the U.S. and Panama, shedding light on the broader implications of American actions in the region.
