“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. “The Soccer War” is a singular work of journalism.”
