The Killing of Idi Amin is the first novel by Fleet Street journalist Leslie Watkins, inspired by his experiences in the crazed dictator’s Uganda where he was covering a minor war. First published in 1976 by Everest Books, this is Avon’s US paperback edition from 1977, featuring two contrasting styles from the Gill Sans family for the title, Kayo and Bold Extra Condensed. The cover artist is unknown. It could be Hector Garrido.
