EATING UGANDA tells how David Livingstone's noble vision of "commerce and Christianity" became corrupted into the exploitation of colonialism. Perhaps the flaw in the vision was that commerce between continents of such unequal power and development as Europe and Africa could be kept separate from political control and the arrogance of conquest that comes with it.

It is a tale of idealism, greed, unspeakable cruelties and fearless martyrdoms. This fast-paced and colourful account also explores the mixed consequences for today. The Christian churches that are the legacy of the early missionaries have become authentically African - but in business and in trade Western exploitation has not gone away. For many the leopard of commercial imperialism has not changed its spots.
