About the book

This book captured the imagination of the world. It was heralded as a symbol of progress that would unite East and West, but its legacy is mixed. The canal was supposed to strengthen the Middle East and bridge cultures; instead the gap widened. However, it opened up a trade link between West and East which had enormous repercussions.
