After The Emperor and Shahinshah, another book by the world-famous Polish reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski, translated by Oles Herasym, written on the verge of documentary and fiction. This time it is about Angola. However, the colonial past and the struggle for independence, foreign intervention and civil war, political strife against the backdrop of total corruption and poverty, as well as empty pompous speeches against the backdrop of military and economic disasters - in short, everything Kapuscinski writes about is relevant not only to the extremely backward African country of the 70s of the last century.
