Imperial reckoning :the untold story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya /Caroline Elkins. - 1st Owl Books ed. - New York :Henry Holt and Co.,2006, c2005. - xvi, 475 p. :ill., maps ;25 cm.

Thousands of Kenyans fought alongside the British in World War II, but just a few years after the defeat of Hitler, the British colonial government detained nearly the entire population of Kenya's largest ethnic minority, the Kikuyu- -some one and a half million people. The story of the system of prisons and work camps where thousands met their deaths has remained largely untold, because of a determined effort by the British to destroy all official records of their attempts to stop the Mau Mau uprising, the Kikuyu people's ultimately successful bid for Kenyan independence--Publisher.
