      abstract = {This book details the devasting Mau Mau civil war fought  in Kenya during 1950s and the legacies of that conflict for  the post-colonial state. There were as many Kikuyu who  fought with the colonial government as there were loyalists  who joined the Mau Mau rebellion. Focusing on the role of  those loyalists, the book examines the ways in which  residents of the country's Central Highlands sought to  navigate a path through the bloodshed and uncertainty of  civil war. It explores the instrumental use of violence,  changes to allegiances, and the ways in which cleavages  created by the war informed local politics for decades  after the conflict's conclusion.--Back cover.},
