Description
Evelyn Waugh's account of his time as a war correspondent in Abyssinia is a witty and insightful exploration of the intrigue and politics leading up to Italy's declaration of war. Waugh's experiences as a journalist in Addis Ababa offer a unique perspective on the complexities of a feudal society caught up in twentieth-century conflict. His observations of the often bizarre and seldom straightforward life of a war correspondent rubbing shoulders with officials, spies, radicals, and journalists provide a fascinating glimpse into this period. Through his writing, Waugh captures the dilemmas and nuances of a society torn between tradition and modernity, offering a penetrating and lucid portrayal of a pivotal moment in history.
