The Life and Times of General China : Mau Mau and the End of Empire in Kenya / edited by Myles Osborne - 1st ed. - Princeton : Markus Wiener Publishers , 2015. - 282 p. ; 23 cm.
This book focuses on Waruhiu Itote, famously known as General China, a key yet polarizing leader of the Mau Mau rebellion in 1950s Kenya. Spared from execution by turning into a government informant, he has been viewed as both a collaborator and a hero. Through an introductory biographical sketch, primary source documents, and an abridged version of his memoir, the book analyzes African resistance to colonial rule and nationalist history.
