<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book tells a previously untold story of decades of financial speculation, fraud, and international conspiracy that led to the creation of the Panama Canal. The author meticulously details the dark alliance among a French company; Teddy Roosevelt with his gunboat diplomacy; and a secretive syndicate of Wall Street financiers that masterminded a coup in Colombia and the secession of Panama in 1903. Panama then welcomed the canal building, and the U.S. foreign policy precedent was set for the 20th century. How Wall Street Created a Nation includes historical photographs and is a fascinating telling of this scandalous true story."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With the drama of detective fiction, <i>How Wall Street Created a Nation</i> illustrates how a combination of financial gain and arrogant American imperialism culminated in the building of the Panama Canal. Ovidio Diaz Espino has artfully pieced together the tale of a dark alliance of greed between the bankrupt French Panama Canal Company and a secret syndicate of Wall Street financiers. With the full force of Teddy Roosevelt's Wall Street cabal and his gunboat diplomacy behind it, there was no stopping the canal project despite the objections of the American Congress and press. Espino brings a combination of financial acumen, historical expertise, and Latin American sensibility to this book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Informative, interesting, and even exciting."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ovidio Diaz Espino</b> was born in Panama.
