First edition of this work by the author of The Heart of the Matter. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Bernard Diederich.
This is Graham Greene's account of a five year personal involvement with Omar Torrijos, ruler of Panama from 1968-81 and Sergeant Chuchu, one of the few men in the National Guard whom the General trusted completely. It is a fascinating tribute to an inspirational politician in the vital period of his country's history, and to an unusual and enduring friendship.
