Description
After three introductory chapters covering the years between 1895 and 1957, the core of this work examines in detail how Kenya moved from Mau Mau trauma to national freedom. The immediacy of the eye witness is combined with the fruits of reflection and archival research to create an authoritative study of this vital period for Kenya, for Africa and for the British Empire.
