Combatants: A memoir of the Bush War and the Press in Uganda
The book offers a firsthand account by William Pike, who ventured into National Resistance Army (NRA) rebel-held areas to document stories during the guerrilla war that brought Yoweri Museveni to power in Uganda.
Following the disputed 1980 elections in Uganda, government forces killed many, but the victims’ stories went largely untold by global media.
In London, Pike connected with exiled Ugandans who supported the NRA, which had launched a war following the contested 1980 elections. These exiles facilitated Pike’s visit to the frontlines in 1984 for a story assignment with The Observer newspaper, marking the beginning of his involvement with the group.
