Publisher Description
Critically hailed, Uganda-born authorMoses Isegawa's Snakepit is a "high-octane melodrama bearing a potent . message [that] delivers the goods" (Kirkus Reviews). Bat Katanga, a Cambridge University post-graduate, returns to his dictator-oppressed African homeland in the 1970s. Rising rapidly through the government's bureaucratic ranks, Bat must navigate-and survive-a world rife with bribery, seduction, conspiracy and execution.

Snakepit Listener Reviews
-
" 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. "
— Samantha, 3/2/2013 -
" 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. "
— Clive, 12/30/2012 -
" Or maybe 3 and a half. Not as good as Abyssinian Chronicles, but good all the same... "
— Katherine, 10/13/2011 -
" I enjoyed reading this book, but it was nowhere near as exciting as Abyssinian chronicles by the same writer. "
— Fatou, 6/12/2011 -
" Too depressing for me. It's a novel about the dark world of corruption during Idi Amin's era of dictatorship. "
