Tom Mboya The Man Kenya Wanted To Forget

This book is a must read by all Kenyans, particularly those born after 1963. No nationalist, dynamic, intelligent and patriotic leader who can be compared to the late Thomas Joseph Mboya anywhere in Eastern Africa today. He did so much for Kenya during his short life on the earth. From Trade Unions to fighting for Kenya’s Independence from the British Colonial Rule. The assassin’s bullet ended his life at 39 years of age, but ordinary Kenyans will not forget him!

The author succeeds in capturing the political atmosphere at the critical times in Tom's life, which coincided with critical times in Kenya's history: Mombasa strike 1955, nairobi elections 1957, Lancaster 1961, Majimboism 1964, Economic planning 1965-7 and Tom's death 1969.
