[A] gripping narrative…a movingly balanced, even sympathetic, understated, and insightful narrative and analysis…all-but-impossible to put down. (from Amazon)

A history of the war between the colonial government and the insurrectionist Mau Mau between 1952 and 1960 casts Gikuyu rebels in a more sympathetic light and profiles the British as the conflict's aggressors, in a volume that also discusses the contributions of such figures as Winston Churchill and Harold MacMillan. 13,000 first printing.
