Graham Greene, uno de los novelistas m�s importantes en lengua inglesa, celebr� su 80 aniversario con la publicaci�n de este libro: un relato vivo, fuerte y chispeante sobre su amistad con Omar Torrijos, presidente de Panam� de 1968 a 1981, fallecido en un extra�o accidente de aviaci�n. �En agosto de 1981 ten�a preparada la maleta para mi quinta visita a Panam� cuando me enter� por tel�fono de la muerte del general Omar Torrijos Herrera, mi amigo y anfitri�n. En ese momento se me ocurri� escribir una especie de peque�o homenaje a un pol�tico inspirador en un per�odo vital de Latinoam�rica y de la historia de su pa�s, y a una inusual y duradera amistad�. Aunque el propio Greene afirm� que quiso escribir unas memorias y termin� escribiendo �una mezcla de cosas bastante insatisfactorias�, la admiraci�n y el afecto que sent�a por el General quedan reflejados sinceramente en unas p�ginas llenas de sabrosas an�cdotas y de inteligentes an�lisis sobre la situaci�n en Centroam�rica y sobre el papel del l�der paname�o. Omar Torrijos --explica Greene-- quer�a una Centroam�rica socialdem�crata, independiente de Estados Unidos, pero que no supusiera una amenaza para su colosal vecino. Su sue�o no pudo convertirse en realidad.
