This volume makes a compelling case for the powerful influence of key individuals acting on behalf the US and British governments on Kenyatta's political evolution. Addressing the long-neglected theme of the specific process by which a neo-colonial regime succeeded colonial rule, this is an invaluable contribution to the fields of Kenyan and modern African history.
