After graduating from Cambridge University, and determined to make a success of his life, Bat has returned to his native Uganda. There, in a country that has become greedy under Marshall Amin’s regime, he is convinced he will be able to acquire the wealth, power and prestige that he craves. But life is never as simple as it seems, and employed as a bureaucrat by General Bazooka, Bat soon finds himself a pawn in a wider battle for control: a battle in which he is unsure of the rules – or the other players.
Snakepit is a chilling account of one man’s experience of Amin’s Uganda – the politics and power-struggles, the behind-the-scenes back-stabbing and casual brutality.
