Trade paperback. Condición: Very Good. Leonard wrote about his experiences growing up in Kenya and serving in the military during the Mau Mau rebellion. Leonard's childhood followed the lines of many small boys, getting into mischief and learning the ways of the world, but against the exotic backdrop of colonial East Africa. In 1950, Leonard returned from college in Ireland and went to work. The following year, the militant anti-British organization, the Mau Mau, launched a campaign against its political enemies. Leonard joined the Kenyan Police Reserve and within the year joined the Kenya Regiment. After completing his training he was assigned to the Kings African Rifles in 1953. Besides having to deal with the guerrilla tactics of his Mau Mau adversaries, Leonard also had to tackle extra-military situations such as poison arrows, charging rhinos and marauding elephant.…
