Maybe a bit too early for one who has just finished class 8 lakini akifika form 2 or when you see signs of kichwa ngumu and they start not listening to you then buy them this one:

Thanks.

Will buy for my nephew.He is in that age and the kichwa is not only ngumu but pembe pia zimemea.Wakes up at 12.00noon and is on phone 24/7(Dont ask me why he has a phone,am working towards having it "stolen").School performance has dropped to Johos and he seems to have no talent we can develop if books are a problem.

Interesting read. It's amazing how book shows have become cheap. No excuse for not reading.

Don't be too hard on the young fellow.

This is a phase that every man has to go through at one time or other in life. Some of us do it in our Wazeehood and the results are not pretty.

Your support as a trusted Untie will have more positive effect than the parental heavy hand.

Caroline Elkin's 'Britain's Gulag'

A sad, embittering collection of accounts from detainees during the 1950s emergency. Brings to light facts like Winston Churchill govt's knowledge and permission of use of torture in detention just after WW2 where the Nazis were condemned for the same.

Torture included beatings(to death), starvation, forced labour (detainees labour gave us JKIA, Yatta irrigation & Mwea Irrigation schemes), castration, stuffing sand through mouth or anusSad

Life wasn't any better for those left in concentration villages. There was forced labour, beatings, rape, famine and many deaths

Not yet done with it but would recommend it for anyone interested in Kenyan history
