About This Item
New York: Henry Holt & Company, 2005. Very Good/Fine.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean with 10-15 pages with highlighting, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with remainder mark. 9.5 inches tall; 457 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index. Maps and in-text photo illustration.. As part of the Allied forces, thousands of Kenyans fought alongside the British in World War II. But just a few years after the defeat of Hitler, the British colonial government detained nearly the entire population of Kenya's largest ethnic minority, the Kikuyu-some one and a half million people.
The compelling story of the system of prisons and work camps where thousands met their deaths has remained largely untold-the victim of a determined effort by the British to destroy all official records of their attempts to stop the Mau Mau uprising, the Kikuyu people's ultimately successful bid for Kenyan independence.
