He promised strength. He delivered terror.

Idi Amin seized power in Uganda in 1971, presenting himself as a soldier who would restore order, dignity, and national pride. Within years, his rule descended into one of the most brutal and destructive regimes in modern history.

In IDI AMIN: Power, Fear, and the Collapse of Uganda, Gordon J. MacKenzie examines the rise, rule, and downfall of a dictator who governed through fear, patronage, and spectacle. This is not just a story of violence, but of how a nation's institutions were hollowed out from within.
