Overview
This book focuses on Panama mismanagement of the U.S. properties it received and its cavalier disregard of environmental considerations crucial to the efficient operation of the canal.
"Author discusses the problems faced by former colonial territories (or smaller, 'dependent' countries) when they assume responsibilities formerly undertaken by the US. Examines transfer of authority over Canal from US to Panama as a case study"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
