This book offers a comprehensive look at Uganda's post-independence history, focusing on the period from 1962 to 1995. This timeframe covers the regimes of Fredrick Muteesa II (1962-1966), Obote 1 (1966-1970), Idi Amin (1971-1979), the UNLF (1979-1980), Obote II, and the Bush War (1981-1986), as well as Museveni's early years in power (1986-1995). While concentrating on this era, the book also provides a wider historical lens by including events from before independence and later developments. These include the privatization of key state institutions like the Uganda Commercial Bank and Uganda Airlines, and the long-term impact of the LRA war, which was marked by the surrender and ICC trial of warlord Dominic Ongwen in 2015.
