It is sad fate for a country whose physical beauty, abundant rainfall, agricultural potential, natural resources and exceptionally with Africa’s most rich and fertile land that, legend had it, almost anything could grow that once moved by Winston Churchill to call it the “Pearl of Africa” the “Jewel of East Africa” . …

Is landlocked and poor! Civil wars have plundered and wrecked the infrastructure of what had been one of black Africa’s most developed countries. Uganda’s civil services had built one of Africa’s highly developed social networks but because of bad governments, Uganda has fallen from one of the best developed, most pleasant places in sub-Saharan Africa to among the most poorest and least developed countries in the world.

On the walls of deserted buildings, the graffiti scrawled by soldiers of Obote, Amin, Okello and NRA are still legible. Their reign of terror since independence only one wave of the tribal violence has claimed millions lives.

Along the roadsides are reminders of the horror! Piles of human skulls, heaps of scattered bones in tall elephant grass. Buildings lining the main street are gutted, their fronts blasted apart, defaced with crude slogans. Behind a shell of pale blue masonry, a field of high grass is still littered with bones and skulls of town’s dead and bits and pieces of blood stained uniforms scattered everywhere your eyes could reach. This is my country! This is the reminder of the recent past and no one knows when it will end!

Back and front cover of Blurred light from West Series book 1

Synopsis

A breath of life and hope of light, the first in the blurred light from west series is an impressive combination of vivid real time reporting from 1960 to 1986. The legendary social worker, activist “Lukonge Achilees” draw from his late Father’s diary who sought to bear witness to horrifying truths of dictatorship to write the first draft of history backed by well researched data drawing on unpublished reports, diaries, interviews about gripping stories of torture, detention, murders, extrajudicial killings and other mass atrocities and crucially to shine a light on the suffering of ordinary innocent oppressed civilians.

Therefore; the book explores the hard facts of Ugandan history in real time the regimes had barred you from knowing and accessing. Historical realities you never read anywhere backed by evidences and examples.

It further tracks most atrocities committed to prominent personalities, institutions and some personal accounts of civilians by regimes from 1960-1986 and provides a lens through which to view decades of Ugandan unrest and explore the future of Uganda.

Some historical figures are fun to talk about meanwhile others are really difficult to discuss and explore, the author feel strongly that history is a perceptive we should consider when looking at societal issues and political unrest. It is not easy to discuss about Uganda political figures but I am grateful for scholastic series that allows every historical book readers, Ugandans, school aged categories to read and learn about a dark and sad time in Ugandan history in the most simplistic way.

I encourage this book for any reader interested in Ugandan and east African politics, dictatorship in world and foreign relations. It’s a worthwhile read when African history is often overlooked.
If you want shivers sent up your spire, then this book should do the trick. The inside information and stories that the book relays is quite appalling.

This book is definitely not recommended for the faint heart. And while the description of activities and events are quite educational, the needless violence and suffering could overwhelm anyone

I am thrilled to share it with you , I can’t wait for you to read it.

Do me a favour and push this book forward by preordering, early reviews are the best, Early recommendations are the better and early sales are the best.

I wish you all the best!
