RaveLibrary Journal...Elkins...has unearthed a chilling account of colonial British detention camps and villages during the Mau Mau insurrection between 1952 and 1960. Her intense scholarly research has yielded empirical and demographic evidence that Britain distorted data regarding deaths and detainees and destroyed official records ... This compelling account of the British colonial government\'s atrocities can be compared to Adam Hochschild\'s King Leopold\'s Ghost. Highly recommended for both public and academic libraries.
