Life and Death at Hoover Dam
あらすじ・解説
It’s 1931 - the start of the Great Depression.
With jobs running sparse, David Conroy is among the lucky few who is selected to work in the searing heat of the Nevada desert on the massive Hoover Dam, one of America's most amazing and biggest engineering accomplishments.
The goal is to tame the mighty Colorado River with a dam that towers sixty stories high. But is the cost too great for these desperate men who must sacrifice their safety to support their families?
From choking on gasoline fumes in 120-degree heat inside the five-stories-tall diversion tunnels, to dangling by slender cables from the thousand-foot walls of Black Canyon, building a dam in the middle of a barren desert is a matter of life and death for the workers.
Amidst the dangerous conditions, there is another battle David and his colleagues must conquer. The battle over prejudice, discrimination, and bigotry, all while overcoming family drama and the economic problems of the Great Depression.
Listeners will find themselves cheering for the heroes and booing the villains, minute after minute, with every breath-taking incident in this gripping tale. Get your copy today!
