This is my most favorite novel. From the day i read it, entire way of thinking and perception of my country Kenya changed. I realized that true patriots who fought for our country against colonial imperialism never saw the corridors of power, neither their children.
The novel gives a true picture of our country Kenya, where sons of our colonial collaborators, home guards and sell outs replaced the colonial regime leaving the true liberators in the cold.
But, the struggle continues since "Justice for the oppressed comes from a sharpened spear"
