When Garrigan tends to Amin, the dictator, in his obsession for all things Scottish, appoints him as his personal physician. And so begins a fateful dalliance with the central African leader whose Emperor Jones-style autocracy would transform into a reign of terror. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eThe Last King of Scotland\u003c\/b\u003e Foden's Amin is as ridiculous as he is abhorrent: a grown man who must be burped like an infant, a self-proclaimed cannibalist who, at the end of his 8 years in power, would be responsible for 300,000 deaths. And as Garrigan awakens to his patient's baroque barbarism--and his own complicity in it--we enter a venturesome meditation on conscience, charisma, and the slow corruption of the human heart. Brilliantly written, comic and profound, \u003cb\u003eThe Last King of Scotland\u003c\/b\u003e announces a major new talent.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Last King of Scotland | Giles Foden | Paperback | 9780375703317 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1751572","offer_id":48927892045976,"sku":"1751572","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71_9zTECnhL.jpg?v=1777057956","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/last-king-of-scotland","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
