"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.

Exceeded expectations.
Color: Blue
This simple yet effective case covers the back with a clear plastic window and fully encases the remote's edges. My kids dropped the old remote far too many times, and being made of aluminum, it dented and the IR piece in the front broke. I even bought a new remote, BUT, once I put this case on the old one (gluing the IR window back on), I discovered I no longer need the new remote, as this will last a long long time. I wish I had bought this from the start. Why didn't I? because I thought it would make it bulkier. Sure it's a little wider, but feels pretty good in the hand, and the weight difference is negligible.

A durable and reliable solution to protect your Apple TV 4K remote
Color: Black
A simple but rugged and durable case for such a fragile and expensive item. The case offers great padding and support for the remote. It fits perfectly over the shell of the device but adds little bulkiness to the overall feel. It is compatible with the most recent iteration of the Apple TV 4K remote. The buttons are easily accessible on the front and the case does provide ample support for the Siri button on the side. Depending on which color variant you choose, the case is easily visible when you inevitably drop it on your bedroom/living room/entertainment room floor.

So well made you could mistake it for an Apple designed case
Color: Black
I searched Amazon for a remote case with touch control sensitivity and this looked like the best option available. I did not check specs, that’s on me. When I received it I realized it wasn’t what I had hoped for. I am glad for the mistake, this keeps the back of the remote scratch free. The case fits so well it could be mistaken for an Apple made case. The edges are raised just enough to protect the controls. It has a nice feel to it and it’s easy to grip without fear of it slipping out of your hands.
