Imperial reckoning : the untold story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya

This book recovers the lost history of the last days of British colonialism in Kenya. In the aftermath of World War II and the triumph of liberal democracy over fascism, the British detained and brutalised hundreds of thousands of Kikuyu - the colony's largest ethnic group - who had demanded their independence.
