Ryszard Kapuscinski, one of the twentieth century's preeminent journalists, is renowned for his narratives of the Third World, which transcend reportage and enter the realm of literature.Another Day of Life is Kapuscinski's dramatic account of the three months he spent in Angola in 1975 at the beginning of its decades-long civil war. The capital, Luanda, is occupied only by those not fortunate enough to flee. When even the dogs abandoned by the Europeans leave, Kapuscinski decides to go to the front, where the wrong salutation could cost your life and where young soldiers -- from Cuba, Russia, South Africa, Portugal -- are fighting a war with global repercussions. With harrowing detail, Kapuscinski shows us the peculiar brutality of a country divided by its newfound freedom.
