An original-research book that uncovers suppressed & doctored documents bearing on the moral & legal validity of the Isthmian Canal Convention of 1903 & the Panama Canal Treaties of 1977. "I strongly recommend that all who support our national security, regardless of whether they support or oppose the treaty, read this documentation & make up their own mind."--Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, USN (Ret.), Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Without question, the seminal treatment of the Canal disaster. It is, & must be, the dominant reference work on the subject."--General Victor H. Krulak, USMC (Ret.), Former Commander Fleet Marine Force Pacific, Vice Chairman, United States Strategic Institute. "There is no question in my mind that if this book & these documents had been available in 1977 the Treaty never would have been ratified. It's an incredible collection of original source material."-- Dr. James McClellan, President, Center for Judicial Studies. "Extensively documented & lucidly written, CANALGATE presents the major decision points, controversies, motivations, expectations, & effects of the treaty, & is notable for its minute attention to legal particulars ... Controversial--& intended to be--CANALGATE has become a very timely book."--The Navy League "Sea Power", February 1990.
