In 1997, Museveni published Sowing the Mustard Seed, recounting the liberation struggle and Uganda’s transformation.
The book covers his early life in rural Ankole, education, and political awakening, leading to his role in the Bush War with the National Resistance Army (NRA). Museveni portrays the struggle as a fight for freedom, justice, and democracy, highlighting the sacrifices of his comrades. 

After taking power in 1986, he reflects on the challenges of rebuilding Uganda, promoting democracy, unity, and grassroots participation. The book also outlines his vision for Africa’s self-reliance and development.
However, on 7th February, 2016 President Yoweri Museveni launched the 2nd edition of his book “Sowing The Mustard Seed” that he edited himself. During the launch that took place at Serena hotel, Museveni said, that he decided to rewrite it personally so that he could tell a clear story. 

He also said the first edition had grammatical mistakes and therefore he had instructed the editors not to edit the second edition. This book talks about his life, education, liberational wars and victory to presidency. Over the course of the event, he also thanked his dear wife Janet Kainembabazi Kataaha for always being there for their family as he was fighting for the country
Sowing the Mustard seed was first launched in 1997. Museveni led a guerilla war to liberate Uganda from years of instabilities and killings, as the President of Uganda, he has established a reputation as one of the most widely respected African leaders of his generation.
