'Kahawa' by Donald Westlake

A post by Oohrah reminded me about this, one of my favorite books from the 1980's.

Official description is
In Uganda in 1977, a particular trainload of coffee, mostly belonging to dictator Idi Amin, is worth six million dollars. As a group of scoundrels and international financiers hijack the train, the double and triple crosses pile up and the comic tension escalates in a brawling brew of buffoons, bumblers, beans and boxcars.
but I think of it as "how does a small group of merc's make an entire freight train disappear in Idi Amin's Uganda?".
