"A stunning new book of reportage and analysis." - Pankaj Mishra, Bloomberg Is the West to blame for the agony of Uganda and its neighbors? In this powerful account of Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni's 30 year reign, Helen Epstein chronicles how Western leaders' single-minded focus on the War on Terror and their na ve dealings with strongmen are at the root of much of the turmoil in eastern and central Africa. Museveni's involvement in the conflicts in Sudan, South Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, and Somalia has earned him substantial amounts of military and development assistance, as well as near-total impunity. It has also short-circuited the power the people of this region might otherwise have over their destiny. Epstein set out for Uganda more than 20 years ago to work as a public health consultant on an AIDS project. Since then, the roughly $20 billion worth of foreign aid poured into the country by donors has done little to improve the well-being of the Ugandan people, whose rates of illiteracy, mortality, and poverty surpass those of many neighboring countries. Money meant to pay for health care, education, and other public services has instead been used by Museveni to shore up his power through patronage, brutality, and terror. Another Fine Mess is a devastating indictment of the West's Africa policy and an authoritative history of the crises that have ravaged Uganda and its neighbors since the end of the Cold War.Binding Type: Paperback

Handsome watch!
Color: Retro Brown band & Black bezel & Blue dial
My 13 year old grandson wanted an “old fashioned” watch so I gave this one to him. He is obsessed with it and wears it every day.

Don't Waste Your Money
Color: Retro Brown band & Gold bezel & White dial
This watch is a complete disappointment. Right out from the box, I adjusted the time per the instruction manual. After finshing adjusting the watch, I pushed the crown in (two clicks). The second hand started movement after almost 10 seconds. From then on, the second hand was stopping and going by itself. Within less than anhour, the watch was behind almost 25 seconds. It is a piece of junk. I would not advise anyone to buy this watch.

Rough dial, pretty watch
Color: Mesh Strap watch balck
Great looking watch, the dial is rough on the skin, it should be refined some to not have sharp edges.

Great Watch for a Great Price
Color: Dark Brown band & Rose Gold bezel & Navy Blue dial
⌚ “Simple, clean, and gets compliments every time.” ⌚
This Watch has easily become my go-to watch.
What I like most is how clean the design is. It’s not flashy, but it stands out in a classy way. I usually pair it with brown shoes and a belt, and it pulls the whole look together perfectly.
Another big plus—it doesn’t feel heavy on the wrist. You can wear it all day and forget it’s even there, which is exactly what you want in a daily watch.
And the compliments? They come consistently. It’s one of those pieces people notice without you trying too hard.
✔️ Clean, stylish design
✔️ Lightweight and comfortable
✔️ Pairs perfectly with dress or casual outfits
✔️ Gets a lot of compliments
If you’re looking for an affordable watch that looks sharp and feels great, this is a solid choice.

Unusable Adjustment Diagram – Completely Black
Color: Mesh Strap watch silver balck
The watch itself looks nice, but there is an issue with the instructions for adjusting the band. The included diagram is completely black and does not show how to make the adjustment.
I was only able to adjust the band because I had a diagram from a previous watch. Without that, it would have been very difficult.
The manufacturer should provide clear and readable instructions.
