Tato kniha popisuje Keňu v desetiletí předcházejícím povstání Mau Mau a přináší celkový pohled na imperiální vládu, jak i na sociální a ekonomické příčiny revolty kmene Kikuyů. Hnutí Mau Mau bylo spojenectvím mezi třemi skupinami nespokojených Kikuyů: nezaměstnaných a bez prostředků z měst, bezmajetných osadníků z Bílé Vysočiny, a nájemníků a členů mladých klanů z rezervací Kikuyů. Tato revolta byla hlavním faktorů, které přesvědčily konzervativní imperiální vládu, že náklady na represe v afrických koloniích nestojí za ztrátu vojáků a zdrojů.

This story of Kenya in the decade before the outbreak of the Mau Mau emergency presents an integrated view of imperial government as well as examining the social and economic causes of the Kikuyu revolt. The Mau Mau movement was an alliance between three groups of discontended Kikuyu: the urban unemployed and destitute, the dispossessed squatters from the White Highlands and the tenants and members of the junior clans in the Kikuyu reserves. The revolt was a dominating factor in convincing the conservative imperial government that the cost of the repression in the African colonies was not worth the troops and resources.
