The Last King of Scotland

For filmatiseringen av romanen fra 2006, se The Last King of Scotland (film).

The Last King of Scotland er en roman av journalisten Giles Foden fra 1998.

Boken handler om Idi Amin, som var Ugandas diktator i perioden 1971-1979. Romanen er en oppdiktet selvbiografi om en skotsk doktor som blir ansatt som Amins personlige lege, og er basert på virkelige hendelser.

Handling

Hovedpersonen er en fiktiv karakter ved navn Nicholas Garrigan, en ung skotsk doktor som reiser til Uganda på grunn av idealisme og eventyr, og ankommer å dagen for det ugandiske statskuppet i 1971. Garrigan forteller deretter hvordan Garrigan blir utnevnt til den personlige legen og fortrolige til president Idi Amin. Romanen fokuserer på Garrigans forhold og fascinasjon for presidenten, Men Idi Amin vokser etter hvert til å bli en mer og mer brutal og hensynsløs diktator. Garrigan handler etter hvert bevisst og gjentatte ganger mot hans egen dømmekraft, og forblir i Amins ansettelse.

Nærmest hypnotisert over Amins sjarm og karisma, blir Garrigan gradvis trukket inn som medskyldig til korrupsjonen og brutaliteten under Amins styre. Selv om disse valgene får fatale resultater for Garrigans egne venner eller kollegaer.
