The news that Dr. Milton Obote,President of Uganda,had been deposed by General Idi Amin on 25th January 1971 was greeted optimistically by many countries in the West.Since then Amin's fame has spread like wildfire as the incredulous world receives his increasingly outrageous pronouncements.But the smiling,childish image which the media have indulgently created for the figure who rose from army cook to President of a modern nation state conceals the qualities of one of the most feared dictators of this century.Even before independence,Idi Amin had acquired a record of brutality,but since coming to power - according to the facts revealed by his own ministers in a secret memorandum - the death toll in Uganda has mounted appallingly. David Martin,a journalist based in neighbouring Tanzania,is well aware of the General's ruthlessness,having had a price put on his head and the threat levelled at him that he will be tracked down in any corner of the world for reporting the murders and massacres inside Uganda.This bookis a study of the historical background to the 1971 coup,the reasons why Amin had to seize power in order to survive,and the devastating results of the take-over for Uganda.

[EAN: 9788175963207], Neubuch, [PU: Cambridge University Press], COMMANDING RIGHT AND FORBIDDING WRONG IN ISLAMIC THOUGHTMICHAEL COOK9788175963207, What kind of duty do we have to try to stop other people doing wrong? The question is intelligible in just about any culture, but few of them seek to answer it in a rigorous fashion. The most striking exception is found in the Islamic tradition, where ?commanding right? and ?forbidding wrong? is a central moral tenet already mentioned in the Koran. As an historian of Islam whose research has ranged widely over space and time, Michael Cook is well placed to interpret this complex subject. His book represents the first sustained attempt to map the history of Islamic reflection on this obligation. It covers the origins of Muslim thinking about ?forbidding wrong?, the relevant doctrinal developments over the centuries, and its significance in Sunni and Shi?ite thought today. In this way the book contributes to the understanding of Islamic thought, its relevance to contemporary Islamic politics and ideology, and raises fundamental questions for the comparative study of ethics.
