About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1984. 'Getting To Know The General' is Graham Greene's account of a five year personal involvement with Omar Torrijos, a ruler of Panama from 1968-81. General Torrijos presided over a vital period of his country's history that saw the end of United States rule in the Canal Zone. His dream of a social-democratic Central America that could offer hope for her peoples without presenting a Communist challenge to the United States was to be an inspiration and source of help for those fighting in Nicaragua and El Salvador against brutal dictatorships. Remainder logo to bottom edge. A bright book in a bright price-intact dust jacket. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
