{"product_id":"amins-soldiers-john-pancras-orau-9781904380962","title":"Amin's Soldiers: A Caricature of Upper Prison","description":"Following the fall of African dictator Idi Amin, remnants of his army were rounded-up and thrown in jail. John Pancras Orau, a member of Amin's Ugandan Air Force was one of these men. He saw first-hand the privations, isolation, hunger and humiliation in what were little more than concentration camps. In this book he describes the uncertainty and arbitrary punishments that - alongside fear that prisoners might just 'disappear' - were part of daily life. A true story of hope and belief, Amin's Soldiers is a masterpiece of tragicomic writing falling somewhere between Catch 22 and Animal Farm as The Chieftan and his Brains Trust of fellow inmates try to govern themselves against a backdrop of prison gossip, rumour, misinformation and ever-changing rules. John Pancras Orau was born in Pallisa, Eastern Uganda. He quit priestly training to join the Ugandan Air Force but as President Amin was swept from power his career was cut short. After spending over two years in prison, he worked for Uganda's New Vision daily newspaper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Pancras Orau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904380964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904380962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waterside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.43d","brand":"John Pancras Orau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437123842303,"sku":"9781904380962","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69d35bf4-91e4-4d8b-b041-6054a726aef5.jpg?v=1777160024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amins-soldiers-john-pancras-orau-9781904380962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
