A State of Blood: The Inside Story of Idi Amin

A State of Blood: The Inside Story of Idi Amin by Kyemba, Henry. paperback edition. ISBN: 9789970021321.

288+ pages of Henry Kyembas intense account of Idi Amins terrifying reign. Inlcuding 60+ pages of Black & White photos. For 6 years, Henry Kyemba was Idi Amins principal private secretary and later Minister of Health in 1970s Uganda. If you want shivers sent up your spine, then this book should do the trick. The inside information and stories that Kyemba relays is quite appalling. And the insight we are provided into a clearly deranged individuals mind is startling to say the least. This book is definitely not recommended for the faint of heart. And while the description of activities and events are quite educational, the needless violence and suffering could overwhelm anyone. This story (1) Entebbe and the truth about Dora Blochs murder; (2) Kyembas personal list of more than 100 ambassadors, ministers, doctors, and professors murdered by Amins private assassination squads; (3) The Inside account of the murder of two American journalists; (4) The random killings of over 100,000 people; (5) Amins women - his insatiable appetite; the dismembered body of wife Kay; the bizarre tale of 5 wives, more than 30 mistresses, and 34 children; (6) Amins private visits to the morgue; the gruesome tastes he has personally described to Kyemba. Written in EXILE, under tight security, here is Henry Kyembas inside story of IDI AMIN.
