Description

“In the winter of 1976, Graham Greene was invited to visit Panama as the guest of General Omar Torrijos Herrera. Always eager for a new adventure, Greene accepted the invitation, which led to a curious, poignant friendship between the distinguished author and Panama’s charismatic leader… a friendship that lasted until the General’s mysterious death in a 1981 plane crash.— Getting to Know the General is more than the memoir of a remarkable man: it’s a masterful portrait of the people, politics, and landscape of Panama.
