This book is in no way a sequel to Something of Value. It is an entirely seperate but equally unforgettable picture of Kenya at the crossroads. It opens with the execution of Peter Poole, the first white man ever hanged in Kenya for killing a black. It ends as white political rule comes to an end in Kenya. Brian Dermott is a second generation Kenya settler, animal lover and game warden. Kenya, as he sees it, is dying as it passes from white domination into black hands. In slaying his beloved animals (Brian is now a professional hunter) he is concelaing his own death-wish - to go down with his country. Brian takes the law into his own hands with results that flash sensational headlines across the whole world. On the other side are the Africans, including three well-contrasted politicians which create a vivid and thought provoking story. * Good condition - General dust jacket wear with minor tears, minor page discolouration but overall good condition for books age * Hardback * Hamish Hamilton 1962 Edition *
