`A phalanx of motorcycles cam roaring over the hill from the west.. .the noise was like a landslide, or a wing of bombers passing over. Even knowing the Angels I couldn`t quite handle what I was seeing.` Huge bikes, filthy denim & an aura of barely contained violence; the Hell`s Angels could paralyse whole towns with fear, so terrible was their reputation. But how much of that reputation was myth & how much was brutal reality?

This counter-culture classic is the hair-raising result. ...

” Hell`s Gorge” traces a heroic dream that spanned four centuries: to build a canal linking the Atlantic & Pacific oceans. The human cost was immense: in appalling working conditions & amid epidemics of fever, tens of thousands perished fighting the jungle, swamps & mountains of Panama, a scale of attrition comparable to many great battles. Matthew Parker explores the fierce geo-political struggle behind the heroic vision of the canal, & the immense engineering & medical battles that were fought. But he also weaves in the stories of the ordinary men & women who worked on the canal, to evoke everyday life on the construction & depict the battle on the ground deep in ” Hell`s Gorge”. Using diaries, memoirs, contemporary newspapers & previously unseen private letters, he draws a vivid picture of the heart-breaking struggle on the Isthmus, in particular that of the British West Indians who made up the majority of the canal workforce. ” Hell`s Gorge” is a tale of politics, finance, press manipulation, scandal & intrigue, populated by a dazzling cast of idealists & bullies, heroes & conmen. But it is also a moving tribute to the ` Forgotten Silvermen`, so many of whom died to fulfil the centuries-old canal dream. ...
