President Jomo Kenyatta, for 13 years undisputed
leader of Kenya and one of Africa's elder statesmen,

from his detention by the British colonial authorities in
the 1950's to the present.  It discusses the economic
and political background, including the fate of men
such as Tom Mboya, Oginga Odinga and J.M.
Kariuki.
