Review :
"Epstein forcefully showcases the collateral damage of myopic American foreign policy that obsesses about terrorism everywhere -- even in Uganda -- to the detriment of all other considerations. Another Fine Mess chronicles how American foreign policy driven by short-term security concerns results in long-term crises and an entrenchment of authoritarian rule in the process. An important and prescient cautionary tale." - Brian Klaas, Fellow at the London School of Economics and author of The Despot's Accomplice: How the West is Aiding and Abetting the Decline of Democracy "As her new book reveals, Helen Epstein is an eloquent advocate of human rights and democracy for Africans, as well as a courageous critic of how U.S. aid supports oppressive dictators like Yoweri Museveni in Uganda." - William Easterly, Professor of Economics at NYU and author of The Tyranny of Experts and The White Man's Burden "For decades, Western policy-makers have hailed Uganda's Yoweri Museveni as a benign autocrat, a charming African Bismarck and trusted partner in the fight against Islamic fundamentalism. Another Fine Messreveals a far darker side to this key African ally, while exposing the cynicism at the heart of American policy in Africa's Great Lakes region. This gripping, iconoclastic, angry book raises a host of uncomfortable questions." - Michela Wrong, author of Borderlines and It's Our Turn to Eat: The Story of a Kenyan Whistle-Blower "A sizzling indictment of Uganda's current strongman and of the American policy in Africa that supports his corrupt regime with generous foreign aid." -- Kirkus Reviews
