  • Product Description

    The remarkable story of how Kenya travelled, in a very few years, from the trauma of Mau Mau to peaceful independence is retold with, for the first time, full access to the official documents. It is a story of strong personalities - of Jomo Kenyatta, after nine years of prison and restriction, emerging as the saviour of his country; of Tom Mboya, the immensely talented young man who outdebated, outmanoeuvred and outshone whites and blacks alike, but who generated an amazing degree of hatred and died by an assassin's bullet; of Iain Macleod, who made the crucial recognition that Kenya was a black African country; and of Malcolm MacDonald, without whom it could still have all ended in disaster.
