Title: Counterinsurgency in East Africa
Review: Based on the Bantam War Book edition: This book recounts a specific operation carried out in Kenya in the 1950s as part of the war against the Mau-Mau, African insurgents who carried out terror attacks against the colonial forces and their fellow Africans. The effort centered around the effort to eliminate Kimathi, who was at the center of the Mau-Mau and who was holed up near Mount Kenya with a small but hard-core group of terrorists. The process of getting Kimathi involved thoughtful and long-term planning to get to this elusive and clever foe and it makes for good reading.
