  • "The stories behind Kapuscinski's official press dispatches covering twenty-seven revolutions and coups in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East between 1958 and 1980."
  • "Part diary and part reportage, The Soccer War is a remarkable chronicle of war in the late twentieth century. Between 1958 and 1980, working primarily for the Polish Press Agency, Kapuscinski covered twenty-seven revolutions and coups in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Here, with characteristic cogency and emotional immediacy, he recounts the stories behind his official press dispatches--searing firsthand accounts of the frightening, grotesque, and comically absurd aspects of life during war."
  • "Grand reporter et correspondant pour l'agence de presse polonaise en Afrique, en Grèce, en Turquie et en Amérique latine de 1958 à 1980, l'auteur propose un témoignage sur la vie quotidienne en temps de guerre, de coups d'Etat ou de révolutions au XXe siècle. Montre notamment les conséquences d'un match de football entre le Honduras et le Salvador qui dégénéra en guerre entre les deux pays."
  • "The author chronicles his experiences as a foreign correspondent in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East between 1958 and 1980."

  • "L'auteur, grand reporter, est allé en Afrique, puis en Grèce et en Turquie, et enfin en Amérique latine. C'est là que se déroule, dans les années 70, "La guerre du foot". En 1969, le Honduras et le Salvador jouent deux fois l'un contre l'autre afin de se qualifier pour la Coupe du monde. Très vite le jeu du stade devient une guerre ouverte."
  • "In 1964, renowned reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski was appointed by the Polish Press Agency as its only foreign correspondent, and for the next ten years he was 'responsible' for fifty countries. He befriended Che Guevera in Bolivia, Salvador Allende in Chile and Patrice Lumumba in the Congo. He reported on the fighting that broke out between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969 after their matches to determine which one of them would qualify for the 1970 World Cup. By the time he returned to Poland he had witnessed twenty-seven revolutions and coups and been sentenced to death four times. The Soccer War is Kapuscinski's story, his eyewitness account of the emergence of the Third World."
  • "Reportages over oorlog, staatsgrepen en honger in Afrika en in Midden-Amerika in de jaren 1960-1976."
  • "Translation of: Wojna futbolowa. The author chronicles his experiences as a foreign correspondent in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East between 1958 and 1980."
