A State of Blood [antikvár]

Acknowledgment Many people have helped make this book possible—so many that I cannot name them all. I am most deeply indebted to my family—Teresa, Elizabeth, Susan and Henry. Their courage and confidence during these very difficult days has been a great source of strength to me. My special thanks go to John Man, who initiated this book and helped me to put it together in its present form. I will always value his friendship. My gratitude also extends to Elspeth Purchase for her kindnesses and her editorial assistance; to the Purchase and Man families for their fortitude during an arduous month; to Peter and Alan, who encouraged me to speak out; to the Sunday Times, in particular Harold Evans and Russell Miller; to Sylvia Richards and Nicole Graves for all their commitment and typing help; John and Janet Marqusee of Paddington Press for their support and guidance; to Harriet McDougal of Ace Books for her professional help; and to Alan Burgess and Dorothy Schock of University College, Oxford. My thanks are also due to David Chipp, Susan Goldblatt, Helen Dunman and Rhodes House, Oxford. Finally, I want to thank the coiiimunity of Oxford. Following my escape from Uganda, Oxford provided a calm and secure haven in which I was able to write this book. It removed me from a constant sense of personal danger. Most important, it created an environment consistent with my pursuit of truth and justice. M
