Title: How Wall Street created a nation
Description: "How Wall Street Created a Nation captures the swashbuckling early days of the century and the pernicious combination of financial gain and arrogant American intercontinental interference that built the Panama Canal. Ovidio Diaz Espino has pieced together the dark alliance between the bankrupt French Panama Canal Company and a secretive syndicate of Wall Street financiers to remap the world to line their pockets.".

"Bringing a unique combination of financial acumen, historical expertise, and national heritage, Diaz Espino uncovers evidence never before available to expose American imperialism in Central America."--BOOK JACKET.
