Publisher Description:

On Uganda's Terms is the gripping tale of the author's experiences as an American nurse during the vicious and brutal reign of Idi Amin. Ms. Hale tells the story of the struggles she faced while striving to improve the Ugandan health care system in the 1960s - 70s. Recalling a saying from the Talmud-"If you can save one life, you can save a generation," she worked to improve health care in the midst of this African nation's most horrific time in history.
