“His Excellency President for Life Field Marshal Al Hadj Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular..”
Dr. Garrigan is a fictional character, but the book is based on real events that took place during Idi Amin’s reign of terror in Uganda. The book was made into a film in 2006, and I’m glad I didn’t remember too much of the film as I think that would have ruined the book for me. What I really liked about the book is all the things I learnt from it.
