loppear reviewed Another Fine Mess by Helen C. Epstein
Uganda, Museveni, and you
4 stars
Brief focused journalistic account of a dictator's continued reign by feigning democracy, keeping western money flowing (the uneventful transition from Cold War to War on Terror), fueling ethnic war in neighboring countries and within, and steady oppression and threats to institutions (parliament, press, supreme court) considering stepping out of line. A failed state, or a careful student of what makes America tick?
