This central focus of this title is General China, the most important but controversial leader of the notorious Mau Mau rebellion that exploded in Kenya during the 1950s. We read the story through the lens of China, his memoirs - now published for the first time outside of Kenya - and archival sources, to understand important themes in African history.
