STATE OF EMERGENCY. THE FULL STORY OF THE MAU MAU. IN SOUTH AFRICA

Majdalany, Fred. STATE OF EMERGENCY. The Full Story of the Mau Mau. London: longmans, 1962. First Edition. "The Mau Mau murdered and maimed more of their own people than anyone else. The witch craft ceremony used to induct them into their muder gangs, included bestiality, rape and order to kill members of their own family who were considered not friendly to the cause! Hardly an heroic group of freedom fighters. The white settler is a subject of much hatred, in todays Kenya - like much of Africa, which has descended into corruption, megalomaniac power elites and tribal conflict - the whites provide a convenient distraction as to the real crux of their problems." 239pp., b+w photos. Very Good. Little Bookshop sticker on fep. Covers a bit worn, otherwise a neat and tight copy. Hardcover. (##2617)
