Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya

Caroline Elkins describes how the British colonial government in Kenya turned increasingly to mass detention to suppress the Mau Mau Uprising. She details how the detention camps were set up and run, the torture and abuse that took place in them, and British attempts to destroy the records on the eve of Kenya’s independence. In the United Kingdom the book was published as Britain’s Gulag: The Brutal End of Empire in Kenya.
