Paperback. Zustand: Good. In 1975, Angola was tumbling into pandemonium; everyone who could was packing crates, desperate to abandon the beleaguered colony. With his trademark bravura, Ryszard Kapuscinski went the other way, begging his was from Lisbon and comfort to Luanda--once famed as Africa's Rio de Janeiro--and chaos.Angola, a slave colony later given over to mining and plantations, was a promised land for generations of poor Portuguese. It had belonged to Portugal since before there were English-speakers in North America. After the collapse of the fascist dictatorship in Portugal in 1974, Angola was brusquely cut loose, spurring the catastrophe of a still-ongoing civil war. Kapuscinski plunged right into the middle of the drama, driving past thousands of haphazardly placed check-points, where using the wrong shibboleth was a matter of life and death; recording his imporessions of the young soldiers--from Cuba, Angola, South Africa, Portugal--fighting a nebulous war with global repercussions; and examining the peculiar brutality of a country surprised and divided by its newfound freedom.Translated from the Polish by William R.

Zustand: As New. : En 1975, Angola se sumió en el caos; todos los que podían estaban empaquetando cajas, desesperados por abandonar la asediada colonia. Con su bravuconería característica, Ryszard Kapuscinski hizo lo contrario, rogando desde Lisboa y la comodidad hasta Luanda, una vez famosa como el Río de Janeiro de África, y el caos. Angola, una colonia de esclavos luego entregada a la minería y las plantaciones, fue una tierra prometida para generaciones de portugueses pobres. Perteneció a Portugal desde antes de que hubiera angloparlantes en América del Norte. Tras el colapso de la dictadura fascista en Portugal en 1974, Angola fue bruscamente liberada, lo que provocó la catástrofe de una guerra civil aún en curso. Kapuscinski se sumergió en medio del drama, conduciendo a través de miles de puntos de control colocados al azar, donde usar el shibboleth equivocado era una cuestión de vida o muerte; registrando sus impresiones de los jóvenes soldados (de Cuba, Angola, Sudáfrica, Portugal) que luchan en una guerra nebulosa con repercusiones globales; y examinando la peculiar brutalidad de un país sorprendido y dividido por su nueva libertad.
