Publisher's Synopsis
Kenya, 1952.
The British Empire calls it a rebellion. He calls it payback.When British forces seize his village and execute his kin, Kamau-a quiet Kikuyu villager-is driven to the forest. There, beneath the cold shadow of Mount Kenya, he joins the Mau Mau: a secret brotherhood sworn to wage guerrilla war for land and freedom.
Armed with little more than a panga and courage, Kamau learns to strike fast, disappear faster, and trust no one. His team hits convoys, torches plantations, and outwits generals. Each mission raises the stakes. Each betrayal brings blood.
The British fight back with guns, spies, and camps soaked in fear. But Kamau fights with something harder to kill-a cause. And as the battle for Kenya intensifies, Kamau finds himself leading men, risking everything, and making choices that will haunt generations.
One villager. One mountain. One war.
The Battle for Mount Kenya is a blistering historical war novel based on real events-gritty, unflinching, and unforgettable. Perfect for fans of war epics, resistance thrillers, and stories of rebellion against empire.
