Riassunto:

A Polish newspaper reporter looks back on the revolutions, coups, and wars he has covered in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East

Recensione: "When our children's children want to study the cruelties of the late 20th century; when they wonder why revolution after revolution betrayed its promises through greed, fear and confusion, they should read Ryszard Kapuscinski."
—The Wall Street Journal

"Kapuscinski is the conjuror extraordinary of modern reportage, and The Soccer War is a splendid example of his magic."
—John le Carré

"Powerful and touching."
—The New York Times Book Review

"Stripped of excess, remarkably void of cynicism, Kapuscinski's writing has the force and vision of literature . . . . He makes his world so real, so alive beyond obscure headlines and other mind-numbing inoculations."
—Boston Globe
