It's eight months since King Freddie, the native ruler of the Largest tribe in Uganda, a British protectorate in Eastern Africa, was arrested and banished to the United Kingdom on the express orders of the Governor of the Protectorate of Uganda. As a consequence, a civil war is bubbling and almost inevitable. A new man, a British man, Lord Daniel Morgan nicknamed 'the Hare' is in town to calm things down. General Scott Macgregor who is in charge of things on the ground isnt at all pleased and will not give up this territory just yet. Else where, a group of young political activists led by a vocal University Lecturer Everisto Kikomeko can no longer look on while their Beloved king is humiliated and their freedoms trampled upon.
Based loosely on true events, The king's Men is set in 1954 Uganda, East Africa, at the height of British imperialism in this part of the world. It brings into question the rationale of one country governing another. It threatens to boil over bringing together unlikely allies, foes, the powerful, all in a desperate attempt to outwit each other.The King's Men is an absorbing yet intriguing novelette that will keep you on the edge but will in turn educate and enlighten you on how politics can easily affect the lives of both citizens and foreigners and what some men will do to win at all costs. A game of Chess where the line drawn between losers and winners is blurred and anyone can very easily pay the ultimate price.
