This controversial book is a ''vivid and entertaining account of Waugh's adventures as an inexperienced and none too enthusiastic war reporter during the often bizarre events of the italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935.'' It is said to be a ''masterpiece among travel and historical sketches and, infused with with his very special brand of humour and perception, remains a delight to read.''
