{UAH} When the son of a rat catcher hobnobbed with the mighty - Jenkins Kiwanuka

Folks:

This book could not have come at a more appropriate time! 

Else in this forum, there is a heated debate that was originated by one Hussein Amin, who is struggling to find a sympathetic ear to his pleas that his father, Idi Amin, was not the monsters he's been portrayed to be.

Long-serving diplomat, Jenkins Kiwanuka, a self-educated man, has published his autobiography in which he says he was on the kangaroo jury that convicted Achbishop Luwumu and ministers, Oboth Ofumbi and Erinayo Oryema, and sentenced the three to death for conspiring to topple Idi Amin.

The review is brief, but catchy because we get a peek at Kiwanuka's lengthy ties to Amin that dates back to the 1950's when they were in the Kenyan army, during Mau Mau. After this tease, who wouldn't want to read Son of a Rat Catcher in its entirety?
