Reviews

Kenya at a Crossroads is a thoroughly researched book which provides a detailed and provocative analysis of the administration of Governor Sir Percy Girouard. This administration marked one of several turning points in the history of colonial Kenya, and this study of a failed governorship will be of interest to specialists and others interested in Kenyan history and British rule in twentieth century Africa. -- Robert Maxon, West Virginia University
