520			_aA Political History of Uganda is the first comprehensive account of the history of Uganda by a Ugandan scholar. Dr.Karugire traces the origins of the country's history from as far back as the sixteenth century when it was first settled by its present inhabitants. from these half-mythical beginnings supported by folklore , he then goes to make an intensive analysis of teh critical period of the colonisation of the country. A major proportion of the book deals with an analysis of the religio-political polarisation which started then, a knowledge of which is crucial to an understanding of Uganda's current political set up. Although the account stops with the end of Obote's first regime, throughout the book there are overtones of Amin's military rule whose seeds appear to have been sown as early as 1900.
