About the book
This memoir of His highness Kabaka Mutesa II of Buganda offers a clear, dramatic, portrayal of the events of his life, including Britain's withdrawal of recognition of him as king in the 1950s, and his loss of control of Buganda and Uganda in the 1960s. While a highly political and not fully reliable narrative, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the 20th century history of Buganda's political status.
