1. General Amin as commander of the Ugandan army and air force, proudly displaying his Israeli parachute wings, c. 1969–70. His first biographer, Judith Listowel, who met him around this time, wrote: ‘I looked into the smiling face of a tall, muscular officer with shrewd eyes’ (Listowel, 1973: 7).

2. Major-General Amin gives his first press conference as president of Uganda on Wednesday 27 January 1971, two days after the coup. His astute use of print and broadcasting media was a key factor in his political survival throughout the 1970s (see Chapter 5).
