"The Emperor", Haile Selassie: King of Kings, Lion of Judah - the absolute ruler of Ethiopia for 44 years, and possibly one of the most corrupt leaders of our time. The author, one of Poland's leading foreign correspondents, interviewed former members of the Emperor's inner court to produce this book which is a study of the man and his absolute power. "Shah of Shahs" begins in Iran in 1980.

The book offers a luminous synthesis of factual reports, impressions, and reflections offering readers a portrait of the psychological state of a country in revolution.
