Tells the history of colonial Uganda through the experiences of an extraordinary leader.

The author examines the life of Kakungulu and his role in the creation of the imperial state. Was this man regarded as 'a hero', 'a collaborator', or 'a warlord'? His story reveals the dilemma for a whole generation of East Africans at the turn of the nineteenth century.
