This book details the devastating Mau Mau civil war fought in Kenya during the 1950s and the legacies of that conflict for the post-colonial state. As many Kikuyu fought with the colonial government as loyalists joined the Mau Mau rebellion. Focusing on the role of those loyalists, the book examines the ways in which residents of the country's Central Highlands sought to navigate a path through the bloodshed and uncertainty of civil war. It explores the instrumental use of violence, changes to allegiances, and the ways in which cleavages created by the war informed local politics for decades after the conflict's conclusion. Moreover, the book moves toward a more nuanced understanding of the realities and effects of counterinsurgency warfare. Based on archival research in Kenya and the United Kingdom and insights from literature from across the social sciences, the book reconstructs the dilemmas facing members of society at war with itself and its colonial ruler.

飛機上補完碩士最後一本書,"忠王派"視角下的肯尼亞非殖民化史。Branch反對Elkins的種族滅絕論而將Mau Mau定性為一場內戰,忠-茅的分野也並非源自年齡、階級屬性,而是在不斷升級的暴力循環中的被迫站隊。在英國的政策下,效忠比叛亂更能滿足肯尼亞人對土地和自足的共同執念,纔是前者勝利的原因。雖然相比Elkins的連篇控訴本書有些輕描淡寫,Branch先森文字流暢閱讀感極好也想多打點分
