Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compellingly argues the feasibility of a project to cut through the Isthmus of Suez and directly connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The author contends that such a channel would dramatically reduce travel times for ships between Europe and India and the Far East, with enormous geopolitical and economic implications. The author gathers the latest scientific evidence and data to address the objections raised by detractors, and assembles a team of engineers to study and plan the project.
