  • "In 1975 Kapuściński flew into Luanda in Angola, to cover the murderous civil war that had broken out after independence. This book is a record of his experiences there, of a city and a country that seemed to have taken leave of the world."
  • "Zeer persoonlijk, journalistiek verslag van de dramatische gebeurtenissen rond de onafhankelijkheid van de Portugese kolonie Angola in november 1975."
  • "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. Brand and Katarzyna Mroczkowska-Brand. From the Trade Paperback edition."
  • "A journalist's account of Angola's struggle to end four hundred years of Portuguese rule."
