1. Introduction -- 2. Background Legitimacy and Political Violence in Pre-Colonial Societies -- 3. Crises of Legitimacy and Political Violence in Colonial Uganda, 1890-1962 -- 4. The Obote Regime and Political Violence, 1962-1971 -- 5. The Amin Regime and Political Violence, 1971-1979 -- Conclusion.

This book demonstrates that societies experiencing prolonged and severe crises of legitimacy are prone to intense and persistent political violence. The most significant factor accounting for the persistence of intense political violence in Uganda is the severe crisis of legitimacy of the state, its institutions, political incumbents and their challengers. This crisis of legitimacy, which is shaped by both internal and external forces, past and present, accounts for the remarkable continuity in the history of political violence since the construction of the state.
