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.

Uhuru means “Freedom” in Swahili. The novel Uhuru is loosely based on real events that took place during the uprising of black Africans in Kenya in the 1960s. The book Uhuru is seldom mentioned today but in 1962 it remained on the New York Times Best Seller List for six months. Dubbed as “a massive explosive novel, a high voltage shocker”… it was indeed!

In this book the boy has grown up to new adventures, to college, to a seaman's berth on a North Atlantic freighter, to African safaris, and treks to the world's far corners - and to other dogs and boys who now follow him.
