- Summary:
-
"Journalist Alex Mitchell secured the first interview with the newly-installed Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in 1971. He did so by a means unusual for an Australian - he lost a swim race to him. His report, completed in hair-raising conditions, was broadcast by Granada TV's World in Action. It revealed to the world the murderous nature of Amin's rule. It also established that Amin had powerful backing for his dictatorship from both Britain and Israel."--Back cover.
