Title: First class reportage - A fascinating story well told.
Review: I only recently came across the evidence of Ryszard Kapuscinski's alleged double life. But putting such allegations aside, and the political taint on both sides of same, I have to say this is an excellent book. The author never made any claim to purist journalism - I recall his own descriptive term was "literary journalism", so griping about clinical accuracy is to miss the point. If you enjoyed the outstanding and often lyrical war reportage of Alan Moorehead's African Trilogy, and also Michael Herr's Dispatches, then you will love The Emperor (and also The Shadow of the Sun). Highly recommended!
