How true to fact was the movie "The Last King of Scotland"?

Question

I was always told that Idi Amin was the worst president ever because of the atrocities he committed against his own people. Then my dad and some of my college professors told me to be careful of propoganda. Where can I get the truth about him?

Answer 1

Here are three short biographies about him. Read them and you'll get an idea about what he was like.

I'm sure that there are book-length biographies out there. Go to your nearest library and ask them for help in finding one.
