This complex and fascinating state has also long been in need of a thorough study that cuts through the image of autocracy and military might.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolitical Power in Pre-Colonial Buganda\u003c\/i\u003e explores the material basis of Ganda political power, gives us a new understanding of what Ganda power meant in real terms, and relates the story of how the kingdom used the resources at its disposal to meet the challenges that confronted it. Reid further explains how these same challenges ultimately limited Buganda's dominance of the East African great lakes region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard J.
