This is the story of the arrival of white settlers in Kenya, the life they made for themselves, and their eventual removal by African aspirations. It investigates what attracted them to the country in the first place, at the end of the nineteenth century. This book describes all types of white society - settlers, administrators, engineers, teachers, missionaries, farmers, white hunters, tourists, rogues and others. They survived locust invasions and drought, bankruptcy and rebellion. Kenya became a modern, flourishing society under their management. In 1963 they handed over to the Africans a viable economy and a country that could confidently make its mark in the world. The book is based on spoken and written records and is written by someone who knows the country intimately.
