In the summer of 2003, a man lay dying in a hospital bed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — no crowds, no flags, no world leaders. The self-styled President for Life of Uganda was slipping away alone, and everything he had built, stolen, and destroyed was catching up with him.
His name was Idi Amin Dada. This is the story of his final hours — and the chain of events that brought him there.
