Yep, "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular" it was.

Spoiler:
His first overseas trip as president was a state visit to Israel as well.....

However, there are also rumours, as described by Herman Wouk in The Hope, that he was afraid of jumping so they threw out a parachute with a sandbag in stead, and let him 'jump' after the plane had returned to the ground . All because, for political reasons, it was inconceivable that he would fail the course; I think Uganda was one of the few African countries that had diplomatic relations with Israel at the time (see also here).


Your turn

I was going to remark on the relation between Israel and the new (at the time) African nations when I saw your link. Quote: "The reasons for Israel's interest in Uganda at the start of the 1960s were the same as for Africa in general. Israel wanted to break through the encirclement of hostile Arab countries and open a way to a nearby continent, and especially East Africa.1 Moreover, as the number of independent African countries steadily increased during that decade, Israel wanted to gain their support at the United Nations and in international conferences. Israel also had commercial, economic, and strategic interests in Africa, as well as a humanitarian goal of helping developing countries especially in training manpower." This is what I personally remember. Unfortunately the strategy failed...


Here is another amazing woman, another writer who chose to publish her books under a pen-name.
As it was customary in her time and place, an un-attractive female was not considered a marriageable woman. Instead, and recognizing her intelligence, her father invested in her education. She was a prolific reader, and whatever she missed in her formal education she filled with her reading. She spent a little time traveling and then became an assistant editor of a new literary magazine. A few years later she became the lover of a married man. For 24 years, until his death, they lived openly as husband and wife, while she continued to publish her work. Of course not everyone approved, and probably approved even less when a few years later she married a man 20 years her junior. Alas, she was already suffering from illness, and shortly after her marriage she died. Her memory and her work will live forever.

I hope that you are ready with another character because you are correct.

The description almost fits Oetzi the Iceman, but it sure doesn't look like him.

Yew! Sorry folks, I didn't think I was right so .... well, you know.... back soon with some more riveting history. Thanks for the reminder pearla.

OK, this woman followed in her father's footsteps, some would say outstripping him in their chosen field. Dad rewarded her by hiring a tutor who raped her, but then continued to have a relationship with her. When the "suitor" reneged on their anticipated marriage, the father pressed charges and a 7 month trial ensued, during which she was subjected to physical examinations and torture by thumbscrews. A month after the trial, Dad married her off to someone else. Remarkably, she and her father continued to work together. After some years travelling in her own country, father and daughter ended up in the court of a European king. She died in her own country, but no-one is sure of the exact date.
