"A raw portrait of the virulent corruption and madness in Uganda under Idi Amin by a Ugandan who survived." — Kyote4me (4 out of 5 stars)
"A raw portrait of the virulent corruption and madness in Uganda under Idi Amin by a Ugandan who survived."
" It was difficult to get into at first but quickly became very suspenseful. Great detail and showed a very truthful,violent side to Uganda under Amin. "
" Took quite awhile to get interesting but once it got going the book was hard to put down. "
" A brutal book, about a brutal time and place. Good novel, and one that explores the insecurity of tough guys, but really gives a sense of the desperation of Uganda at the time. "
" Or maybe 3 and a half. Not as good as Abyssinian Chronicles, but good all the same... "
" I enjoyed reading this book, but it was nowhere near as exciting as Abyssinian chronicles by the same writer. "
" Too depressing for me. It's a novel about the dark world of corruption during Idi Amin's era of dictatorship. "
