I first read this book as a 17 year old matric student and have subsequently re-read it twice more. Amazing how he had the foresight to predict the violence and desire for land which the white man had "stolen"from the local population. What has changed today? The local population is still violent and fighting to take back " stolen" land, farmers are still being murdered and gender violence is rife. Well written, Robert Ruark.

Something of Value is a novel based on events that took place in Kenya Colony during the violent Mau Mau insurrection of the 1950s, an uprising that was confined almost exclusively to members of the Kikuyu tribe. It is a powerful, gripping, and sometimes shocking novel that presents an enlightening glimpse into the lives of all sections of the population in Colonial Kenya fifty years ago.

Again, well written, but I got a lot of the background from Ruark's "Horn of the Hunter" which I read previously. It was what led me to this book, and I would recommend it. ( )
