La Herencia Colonial y Otras Maldiciones - Cronicas de Africa (Spanish, Paperback)

Collecting Jon Lee Anderson's African chronicles for the first time, this book demonstrates why he is considered to be one of the world's best journalists. With a bravery that borders on recklessness, the author doesn't hesitate to venture into extreme places and situations, teeming with chaos and violence, so that he can later narrate what he observed with great objectivity. Rarely does he allow himself to take sides, which makes his narration of the complicated realities he witnesses that much more effective. In his chronicles from Liberia, Angola, Sao Tome, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Guinea, Sudan, and Libya during Gaddafi's last days, the author gains direct access to the highest echelons of power, revealing to readers what resides in the minds of leaders, including some of the bloodiest dictators. Additionally, he takes the time to learn the common man's story so as to give a voice to those who invariably suffer from the tyrants' excesses and bloody political struggles.
