- Summary
- Chronicles Idi Amin's rise and fall. Amin's despotic reign of terror is viewed through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan, a Scottish doctor who arrives in Uganda in the early 1970s to serve as Amin's personal physician. His perspective as an outsider causes him to be initially impressed by Amin's calculated rise to power, but as he grows increasingly monstrous, Garrigan becomes disillusioned. A pointed examination of how independent Uganda, a British colony until 1962, became a breeding ground for Amin's genocidal tyranny
