"Getting to Know Panama" fills a need for those who come to Panama as visitors or residents. Panamanians also, will find out how much they didn't know about their own country. Autor Michèle Labrut, a Frenchwoman, was particularly well-equipped to compile this treasure-trove of information. She is a long-time resident, a journalist, and correspondent for Time, Magazine, NBC News and other international publications. "Getting to Know Panama" reflects her deep fascination for the country's history, culture, modern vitality as a center of commerce, and the abiding beauty of its islands, beaches, mountains and jungles. She guides the reader on many a hinterland trek and caters to the seekers of adventure as well as the naturalists who are discovering the vastness and variety of Panama's unspoilt ecosystems.

Michèle Labrut first came to Panama as a press attaché to the French Embassy between 1965-68. When her stint with the French foreign service ended, much-travelled Michèle gave Panama her personal "most favoured nation" status and returned to the isthmus as a foreign correspondent. Her work has been published widely in prestigious journals all over the world and she is a respected member of the country's foreign press corps. In 1982, her book "Este es Omar Torrijos", a biography of Panama's former strongman and head of state was published. She has recently collaborated in making several documentaries for the BBC and European and U.S. television networks. Michèle's profession necessitates a profound knowledge of the country but her acumen is not from necessity alone, but a genuine passion for Panama.
