porte sur trois points chauds du globe dans les années 1970 : Moyen-Orient, Amérique du Sud et Afrique. Comme toujours chez Kapuscinski, l'écriture est précise, intelligente, et le propos férocement actuel. Décrivant des mouvements partisans ou révolutionnaires, le reporter s'attache chaque fois à un destin particulier pour dresser un tableau politique plus général.

Enfant unique du suicide de Mayerling et petite-fille préférée du vieil empereur, elle fut rebelle comme son père tout en restant archiduchesse dans l'âme bien après la chute de l'Empire austro-hongrois. Un premier mariage avec le prince Otto Windisch-Graetz tourna vite au cauchemar mais n'aboutit à une « séparation de table et de lit » qu'en 1924. À cette époque, Erzsi avait déjà rencontré le véritable homme de sa vie, Leopold Petznek, figure majeure du parti social-démocrate autrichien. Elle-même y adhéra. Dans la tourmente des années trente, la fortune et les relations de celle qu'on appelait désormais l'« Archiduchesse rouge » lui permirent de venir en aide aux camarades persécutés. Ayant survécu à l'enfer de Dachau, Petznek finit par épouser sa compagne de trente ans [...]. » -- 4e de couvPar Susan McQuillan. 2007
