Book Reviews of Parting the Desert : The Creation of the Suez Canal
Book Review: These little stories you tell? They should have a point!
Summary: 2 Stars
Boring take on what sounded like it would have been an interesting subject. Mostly about the byzantine wanderings of Lessep, the Canal's driving force, through the politics and marketing of the canal, with pedestrian writing.
Brings to mind Steve Martin's line from Planes Trains and Automobiles: "These little stories you tell? They should have a point!"
