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.
From the purge of rivals and the expulsion of Uganda’s Asian community to the collapse of the economy and the disastrous war with Tanzania, this book reveals how Amin’s decisions reshaped Uganda at every level of society.
This is a clear, gripping, and deeply unsettling account of power without restraint—and the cost it imposes on a nation.
