A review by armysoldier33
The Last King of Scotland by Giles Foden

3.0

There was so much more of the brutality of Idi Amin in the book than it was in the movie. But I always found myself asking, why didn't Nick just leave? He had several opportunities to get out and resources to just leave the country but he didn't. His escape in the movie was a much more dramatic event than what actually happened. This is one of those rare times where I'd recommend watching the movie and reading the book to get a good idea of the story. Although I'd recommend researching the legacy of Idi Amin to get. a true understanding of what a vile, brutal, killer that he truly was.
