The Last King of Scotland
by Giles Foden
read by Mirron E. Willis
Unabridged


Now a major motion picture starring Forest Whitaker and James McAvoy

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year and Winner of the Whitbread Award

Shortly after his arrival in Uganda, Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan is called to the scene of a bizarre accident: Idi Amin, careening down a dirt road in his Maserati, has hit a cow. When Garrigan tends to Amin, the dictator, obsessed with all things Scottish, appoints him as his personal physician. So begins a fateful dalliance with the African leader whose Emperor Jones-style autocracy would transform into a reign of terror.

In The Last King of Scotland, Foden's Amin is as ridiculous as he is abhorrent: a self-proclaimed cannibal who, at the end of his eight years in power, would be responsible for 300,000 deaths. As Garrigan awakens to his patient's barbarism—-and his own complicity in it—-we enter a venturesome meditation on conscience, charisma, and the slow corruption of the human heart.

Review Quotes

“A sobering reality check and an impressive work of fiction.”—Washington Times

“An affecting, chilling historical novel.”—New York

“Lurid and delightful, written with wit and real maturity.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Genuinely beautiful and disturbing.”—Village Voice

“Garrison is the perfect foil for Amin, whose overwhelming physical presence, peacockish rhetoric, and cold-blooded savagery are so well captured as to make this novel more than a mesmerizing read: it is also a forceful account of a surrealistic and especially ugly chapter of modern history.”—Publishers Weekly
