History of the Suez Canal

History of the Suez Canal
The 'History of the Suez Canal' is a detailed account by Ferdinand de Lesseps, the canal's architect, documenting its origin and completion between 1859 and 1869. This work is based on a lecture delivered in April 1870 before the Société de Gens Lettres in Paris. De Lesseps provides insights into the engineering challenges and political dynamics involved in constructing this pivotal waterway, which significantly impacted global trade routes.
