A review by marie_gg
The Last King of Scotland by Giles Foden

4.0

I wanted to read this before I see the movie. Foden based this story on a real-life character (not Amin, but Amin's Scottish doctor), who is still alive and kicking in the UK. I didn't know much about Amin's reign as dictator of Uganda, and this novel certainly gave me a disturbing picture of what went on.
