Fighting the Mau Mau: The British Army and Counter-Insurgency in the Kenya Emergency - Cambridge Military Histories
Bennett, Huw (University College of Wales, Aberystwyth)
For the first time Huw Bennett examines the conduct of British Army soldiers during their counterinsurgency activities in Kenya's Mau Mau rebellion in the 1950s. He uncovers the uneasy relationship between official notions of minimum force and colonial traditions of using exemplary force to terrorise the civilian population into submission.
