Reviews:

• When was the last time you read a bibliographic work for pleasure? I recommend Martin Jamison's book for that rare experience. This slim but tightly packed volume begins with a concise introduction narrating the major events of Amin's eight years of haphazard rule in Uganda, followed by a brief discussion of sources and organizing principles. . . . The real pleasure of this bibliographic treasury is not so much the new discoveries that almost everyone will find here, but the generous annotations that describe the contents of each item with such care and precision that one knows immediately whether and how it will be of use. Unlike so many bibliographies that are content merely to list titles and authors in alphabetical order, this is clearly the work of a scholar who has become a knowledgeable expert on Idi Amin . . .
