The Second Persecution; An American Family in Uganda: Abroad and Divided; Amin: The African Hitler; and What Can Be Done about the New Hitler? The tragedy of Uganda is that, until now, the United Nations has remained silent about the man who regards Hitler as his hero. and who has impersonated him by liquidation of thousands of Ugandan people. While the world only watches, the Meladys call for action. . The authors had visited Uganda briefly for the first time in July 1952. Within ninety days of arriving, the author was to be in the presence of a man who had said that Hitler knew how to take care of the Jews. The Ugliness quickly became real. The authors went to Uganda expecting to find an authoritarian erratic government. The growing fear in their hearts, starting within ninety days of there arrival, was that Amin was looming on the scene of world leaders as a confirmed brutal tyrant practicing torture and murder. “As a former Ambassador to Uganda, during the very difficult and some would say dangerous times of Idi Amin, my wife and I relate in some detail the situation in Uganda while he was the dictator.” -Thomas P. Melady. More

David Tead Michaelis (born October 3, 1957) is an American writer since the late 1970s. As a biographer, Michealis wrote about N.C. Wyeth, Charles Schulz and Eleanor Roosevelt.

While reviewing the book, Gail Collins of The New York Times said it was "the first major single-volume biography in more than half a century". In the late 1970s, he held an editing position with The Paris Review. He then wrote for Manhattan, inc. the following decade. By the 2000s, some magazines his contributions appeared in were The New Republic and The American Scholar.

Cover has slight wear and soiling. G.E. Miller was fortunate enough to see life behind the Iron Curtain in 1970 in his late teens, when invited along with a civil engineering group from Canada. He spent weeks behind the Iron Curtain touring Leningrad, Moscow and East Berlin, observing life under the fist of tyranny. He saw first-hand a majority of the Communist’s people oppressed and dirt poor, standing in long lines just for a loaf of bread, thousands of empty shelves in Moscow’s largest department store in Red Square. He returned home to America deeply appreciating the freedoms and liberty that living in a Republic and a free society offer. A life-long dedication to history study, mixed with a fascination with sciences that mankind currently has very little understanding of, creates a unique combination of old age and new age journeys for the reader’s enjoyment. “The New Madrid Trilogy”, comprised of “A Matter of Timing”, “The Cataclysm Scroll”, and “Killing the Eagle”, reflect the author’s passions of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness entitled to all people throughout the world – regardless of race, religion or geographical location.
