Résumé
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. Winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction. Explicit descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2005.
