Acerca de esta escucha

Winner of the National Book Award for history, The Path Between the Seas tells the story of the men and women who fought against all odds to fulfill the 400-year-old dream of constructing an aquatic passageway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It is a story of astonishing engineering feats, tremendous medical accomplishments, political power plays, heroic successes, and tragic failures. McCullough expertly weaves the many strands of this momentous event into a captivating tale.

Like his masterful, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography John Adams, David McCullough's The Path Between the Seas has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in American history, international intrigue, and human drama.

The author, as always, does a phenomenal job in his research and storyline. The book deals heavily with the French engineering of the canal. While difficult this is the sections that stuck with you. The book really opens up once America joins.
Would recommend this to someone looking for a deep dive into an area of history you did not know about before.

An enjoyable listen, and enlightening with respect to the challenges, the people, the politics, and the excavation and construction of one of the greatest human undertakings of all time.

To me history defines who we are. This is achieved by providing a vital window into who we were, and through the benefit of past human experiences, what is possible for us to become.

No one introduces history to the reader better than David McCullough. His unique ability not only showcases his definitive and exhaustive passion to get the story right, but is also able to magically transport us into bygone worlds through descriptive human travails and long forgotten customs...allowing one to 'feel' the story as well as learn about it.

In my opinion, Path Between the Seas represents one of McCullough's best efforts, a real page turner, made even better as a result of a flawless narration by Nelson Runger.

Perfect in Every Way!

There is a vast amount of information in this volume with many, many, many details. For me it was a great book to listen to because to read I would have given up. Good performance.

I’m fascinated by the canal and the information regarding the canal it was interesting. But talk of the living conditions of black workers and tells zero empathy, and not even a hint of criticisms of the way things were undertaken at that time.

Needs updating- racially insensitive

My husband thought I was crazy to be interested in the building of the Panama Canal; I never remember more than a few paragraphs about it in history class. What a story involving politics, health epidemics, power, segregation, engineering, and construction over 3 decades! I have got to see this in person: bucket list imperative. Really great "listen "!

Fantastic accomplishment!

McCullough tells an incredible, painful, and beautiful story of one of mankind's greatest achievements. The images of failure and anguish, feats of revolution, engineering and the dark (and sometimes shameful) French, Colombian and American politics of the time are presented very well. is a must-read for any fan of history, engineering, and innovation.

The narration is solid. He maintains his enthusiasm, and the listener can feel his excitement throughout.

Breathtaking story
