Ce road-movie intimiste est l'une des BD à ne pas manquer en cette rentrée
Culture of the Sepulchre is not only a retelling of Idi Amin's brutality and buffoonery, which unfolded in the seventies, it is also a heart-rending saga of the forced evacuation of the Indian diaspora from Uganda and their trials against the backdrop of a fierce internal armed conflict.
Madanjeet Singh, the Indian High Commissioner to Uganda at the time, gives a first-hand account of the unimaginable violence and savagery unleashed by a man who designated himself 'His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular' (and by some accounts even appointed himself the King of Scotland), as well as the ghastly and macabre events that followed Amin's defeat by the rebel forces led by Museveni.
This is also an account of the extraordinary courage demonstrated by Madanjeet at a time of great personal turmoil-'his sister died under mysterious circumstances and his trusted servant turned criminal-'and the great risks he took to evacuate hundreds of families desperate to escape the murderous environment
