Sowing the Mustard Seed

This is the autobiography of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who led a guerilla war to liberate his country from tyranny and who, as President of Uganda, has established a reputation as one of the most widely respected African leaders of his generation.

From his school days in the mid 1960s, Museveni has taken a leading role opposing political and social injustice. Consequently, when Idi Amin began his infamous rule of Uganda in 1971, Museveni was among the first to take up arms against the murderous regime.

Sowing the Mustard Seed contains a graphic account of that turbulent period and provides an insider’s account of the wasted years following Amin’s overthrow in 1979. When Uganda’s first general election in two decades was rigged in December 1980, Museveni launched a guerilla war to fight against Milton Obote’s Sectarian dictatorship.

The war of liberation started in February 1981 with only 27 guns, and the National Resistance Movement and Army eventually took power in January 1986 and began the arduous task of rebuilding a shattered nation.

Uganda has been transformed into a peaceful democratic and respected country on its way towards industrialization and modernization.  Under Museveni’s leadership Uganda has become an example for the rest of Africa.
