American Experience - Building the Alaska Highway

摘要

I guess I should have called this recommendation DVD Ideas, but I couldn't resist. I remember seeing this show a few years back and thinking that it was terrific. At the time, building the Alaska Highway was referred to as the largest US construction project since the Panama Canal. This DVD really gives the viewer an appreciation for the horrific conditions the workers endured and the sheer muscle required to get the thing built in well under a year's time. For the price of a good book, this program is certainly worth the investment.
