HOLMAN, DENNIS Bwana Drum
W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. 1965. Hard Cover. Good/Good. Photos in text. Dust jacket edge wear & tearing, pages toned, ink inscription on front free endpaper, some shelf wear. "David Drummond, 'Bwana Drum' as he was known, was twenty when he was transferred to the Kenya Police Special Branch. Within a few months he was leading an intelligence network in an area where ninety-five per cent of the Kikuyu in revolt were fanatical Mau Mau supporters, bound by potent and revolting blood oaths to hold out to the bitter end. Drummond's first major opponent was the notorious General Harun Njeroge, who launched a personal vendetta and sent Bwana Drum grim warnings in a series of horrible letters. In order to outwit the terrorist general, Drummond formed a gang from the Mau Mau he captured and converted; they became one of the famous pseudo-terorist bands which finally broke the Mau Mau hard core and ended the Emergency.".
