review 1: The most engrossing book I've ever read: I finished it in 1 week! It feels so familiar, because of my Kenyan experience, but yet reveals that all is not as it seems to the point of alienation. The international community, the so-called Mount Kenya Mafia,the concept of whistleblowing, the value of historical lessons, the complex political arena, the economy, the notorious 2007 elections, poverty and corruption interconnections....etc, etc all come into question. I strongly recommend this book if you care about what it means to be at service to the people and how far one can go to challenge a rot in the social fabric....
review 2: What a thought provoking book. Having spent the past two and a half years living off and on in Kenya, this books explains so much of t
... morehe political system, the corruption and the differences between the different tribes. It also goes into great length to explain the post election violence that occurred here after the last election. With elections coming up in the next six months it does give you food for thought for just what is in store for Kenya when that happens. I found this book to be very enlightening and I am glad I took the time to read it and get a better understanding for the culture and the people of this lovely country. less
